The irq timings infrastructure tracks when the interrupts occur in order to
statistically compute when is supposed to happen an interrupt.

In all the interruptions, it does not make sense to store the timer interrupt
occurences and try to predict the next interrupt as we know the expiration
time.

The request_irq() has a irq flags parameter and the timer drivers use it to
pass the IRQF_TIMER flag, letting us know the interrupt is coming from a timer.
Based on this flag, we can discard these interrupts when tracking them.

But, the API request_percpu_irq does not allow to pass a flag, hence specifying
if the interrupt type is a timer.

Add a function __request_percpu_irq() where we can specify the flags. The
request_percpu_irq() function is changed to be a wrapper to
__request_percpu_irq() passing a zero flag parameter.

For now, in order to prevent a misusage of this parameter, only the IRQF_TIMER
flag (or zero) is a valid parameter to be passed to the
__request_percpu_irq() function.

Changelog:

   V11:
	- Drop the changes in the timer drivers and rename the function
	  request_percpu_irq_flags to __request_percpu_irq.
   V10:
	- Drop the change for arch arm virtual timer
	  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/25/184
   V9:
	- Clarified the patch description
	- Fixed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(request_percpu_irq_flags)
