This patchset fixes the problem where RCU_FAST_NO_HZ's timers were
being ignored due to the dyntick-idle code having already calculated
the CPU's wakeup time (which I sent earlier, mistakenly offlist), but
also fixes a botched check in my workaround.

Could you please try it out?  This patch is against 3.4-rc4.

							Thanx, Paul
