Merge branch 'x86-timers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/l…

…inux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two commits which were missed to be sent during the merge window.

   - The TSC calibration fix turns out to be more urgent as recent
     Skylake-X systems seem to have massive trouble with calibration
     disturbance. This should go back into stable for that reason and it
     the risk of breakage is rather low.

   - Drop an unused define"
