[patch] dynticks: core, NMI watchdog fix, #2

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

Andrew, there's one more fallout of the dyntick queue: the fix below 
goes after (or into) dynticks-core-nmi-watchdog-fix.patch. The bug only 
affected NO_HZ kernels.

Subject: dynticks: core, NMI watchdog fix, #2
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

a partial fix of the NMI watchdog bug sneaked into yesterday night's
queue - this patch removes that extra in_interrupt() condition.

(One effect of this bug is a 'slow' serial console on NO_HZ, because we 
never update jiffies and the serial console's timeouts get confused by 
it.)
