c1a834dc70 timer stats: speedups 
Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but
not used.  (this way distros can enable it more easily)

Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was
written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list
walk based lookup ;-)

82f67cd9fc [PATCH] Add debugging feature /proc/timer_stat 
Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration.
Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured.
This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system.

Sample output:

# echo 1 > /proc/timer_stats
# cat /proc/timer_stats
