[Xen-devel] [PATCH5/6] cpuidle: redirect some hpet lock users to a new cpumask_lock

cpuidle: redirect some hpet lock users to a new cpumask_lock

The hpet channel lock was also used for prevent handle_hpet_broadcast access 
other cpu's timer_deadline_start/end after other cpu was already waken up.
This purpose can be approached via a standalone lock to remove much spins on 
the hpet channel lock.
