tick: Detect and fix jiffies update stall 

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:

* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
  or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
  updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
  stop_machine() callback.

* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
  on the host.

Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.
