    commit 5ec2481b7b47a4005bb446d176e5d0257400c77d upstream.
    
    smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context.
    
    But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq
    context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt
    handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the
    resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support
    Xens resume mechanism.
    
    linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_*
    is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen
    change.
    
    Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.
