    Defer commit 6d299f1b to the next release.
    
    Testing of the tip/sched/clock tree revealed a mysql+oltp regression
    which bisection eventually traced back to this commit in mainline.
    
    Pertinent test results:  Three run sysbench averages, throughput units
    in read/write requests/sec.

    Note: subsequent commits hide the majority of this regression until you
    apply the clock fixes, at which time it reemerges at full magnitude.
    
    We cannot see anything bad about the change itself so we defer it to the
    next release until this problem is fully analysed.
