up to:  b5413156bad9: posix-cpu-timers: Clear TICK_DEP_BIT_POSIX_TIMER on clone


A single fix for posix CPU timers

  When a thread is cloned, the posix CPU timers are not inherited.

  If the parent has a CPU timer armed the corresponding tick dependency in
  the tasks tick_dep_mask is set and copied to the new thread, which means
  the new thread and all decendants will prevent the system to go into full
  NOHZ operation.

  Clear the tick dependency mask in copy_process() to fix this.

Thanks,

	tglx
