Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic
This is a backporting from upstream linux, please refer to
http://marc.info/?t=142904577100001&r=1&w=2 for more information, the
corresponding kernel commit is 0ff53d09642204c64842 (tick: sched: Force
tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic).
The purpose of this patch is, if a tick_sched interrupt is missed, don't
try to raise softirq, instead, we can simply trigger the timer interrupt.
The reason is, softirq requires context switch and has much higher overhead
than interrupt.
Upstream status: backport 0ff53d09642204c64842
