    Revert "x86, timers: Check for pending timers after (device) interrupts" · e7ab0f7b

    This reverts commit 9bcbdd9c.
    
    The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in:
    
      f5dc3753: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected
    
    And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing
    from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency,
    this could cause a performance regression.
    
    The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency
    as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more
    often.
