Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the time/timer core code:
- Rework the initialization of the posix-timer kmem_cache and move
the cache pointer into the timer_data structure to prevent false
sharing
- Switch the alarmtimer code to lock guards
- Improve the CPU selection criteria in the per CPU validation of the
clocksource watchdog to avoid arbitrary selections (or omissions)
on systems with a small number of CPUs
- The usual cleanups and improvements"

alarmtimer: Remove dead return value in clock2alarm()
time/jiffies: Change register_refined_jiffies() to void __init

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
