hrtimer: Make offset update smarter

On every tick/hrtimer interrupt we update the offset variables of the
clock bases. That's silly because these offsets change very seldom.

Add a sequence counter to the time keeping code which keeps track of
the offset updates (clock_was_set()). Have a sequence cache in the
hrtimer cpu bases to evaluate whether the offsets must be updated or
not. This allows us later to avoid pointless cacheline pollution.
