Subject[PATCH RT 19/25][RFC 3.0.23-rt39-rc1] timer: Fix hotplug for -rt
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Revert the RT patch:
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

timers: fix timer hotplug on -rt

Here we are in the CPU_DEAD notifier, and we must not sleep nor
enable interrupts.

There's no problem with sleeping in this notifier.

But the get_cpu_var() had to be converted to a get_local_var().

Replace the previous fix with the get_local_var() convert.
