We have observed on few machines with rtc-cmos device that
hpet_rtc_interrupt() is called before cmos_do_probe() could call
hpet_rtc_timer_init(). It has not been observed during normal boot/reboot
of machines. It *sometime* happens when system is booted with kdump
secondary kernel. So, neither hpet_default_delta nor hpet_t1_cmp is
initialized by the time interrupt is raised in the given situation.
Therefore while loop of hpet_cnt_ahead() in hpet_rtc_timer_reinit() never
completes. This leads to "NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on
cpu 0".

These patch set initializes hpet_default_delta and hpet_t1_cmp before
interrupt can be raised.

Changes since RFC:
  - Commit log of patches has been improved.
  - RFCs were here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/21/35
