Thanks. Updated with Martin's comment. Also cleanup calc_load() a
bit more.
[PATCH] cleanup do_timer and update_times
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and
s390 timer interrupt handler with this change.
Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies",
but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.
Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are
another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch
removes it.
As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily,
since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch
does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup
patch)
