This patch moves x86_do_profile and update_process_times into
do_local_timer for all systems.

It also makes do_global_timer_interrupt call do_local_timer on systems
without the local apic timer (local apic timer simulation)

--------------------

Assuming we're SMP with a local apic timer all firing away:

global_timer_interrupt
	do_global_timer_interrupt
		{ack the interrupt}
		do_global_timer_interrupt_hook
			do_global_timer
				jiffies_64++;
				update_times
		{update CMOS clock}    (In the interrupt still ??!!)

local_apic_timer_interrupt
	do_local_apic_timer_interrupt
		{ack the interrupt}
		do_local_timer
			x86_do_profile
			update_process_times

--------------------

On UP with local apic timer:

global_timer_interrupt
	do_global_timer_interrupt
		{ack the interrupt}
		do_global_timer_interrupt_hook
			do_global_timer
				jiffies_64++;
				update_times
		{update CMOS clock}    (In the interrupt still ??!!)

local_apic_timer_interrupt
	do_local_apic_timer_interrupt
		{ack the interrupt}
		do_local_timer
			x86_do_profile
			update_process_times

--------------------

On a UP 386 with stale crusty breadcrumbs, and no local timer:
	
global_timer_interrupt
	do_global_timer_interrupt
		{ack the interrupt}
		do_global_timer_interrupt_hook
			do_global_timer
				jiffies_64++;
				update_times
			do_local_timer
				x86_do_profile
				update_process_times
		{update CMOS clock}    (In the interrupt still ??!!)
