Backport for 2.6.32.59

NOTE:This is a prerequisite patch that's required to
address the widely observed leap-second related futex/hrtimer
issues.

Currently clock_was_set() is unsafe to be called from atomic
context, as it calls on_each_cpu(). This causes problems when
we need to adjust the time from update_wall_time().

To fix this, introduce a work_struct so if we're in_atomic,
we can schedule work to do the necessary update after we're
out of the atomic section.
