Per the text in  Documentation/SubmitChecklist as below, we should
explicitly have header linux/errno.h in localtimer.h for ENXIO
reference.

1: If you use a facility then #include the file that defines/declares
   that facility.  Don't depend on other header files pulling in ones
   that you use.

Otherwise, we may run into some compiling error like the following one,
if any file includes localtimer.h without CONFIG_LOCAL_TIMERS defined.

  arch/arm/include/asm/localtimer.h: In function ‘local_timer_setup’:
  arch/arm/include/asm/localtimer.h:53:10: error: ‘ENXIO’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Hi Russell,

Do you have any comment on this patch?  Otherwise, I will put it into
patch tracker.

Only that the include should be towards the top of the file rather
than conditionally included.  That avoids potential surprise compile
errors caused by changes in configuration.  (Ok, you may argue that
they shouldn't happen but with the amount of includes we have it's
very difficult to ensure that everything explicitly includes everything
it actually needs.)
