x86/suspend: unconditionally raise a timer softirq on resume

The current code to restore the timer state on resume is incomplete.  While
the local APIC Initial Count Register is saved and restored across
suspension (even if possibly no longer accurate since it's not adjusted to
account for the time spent in suspension), the TSC deadline MSR is not
saved and restored, hence hosts using the TSC deadline timer will likely
get stuck when resuming from suspension.

The lack of restoring of the TSC deadline MSR was mitigated by the raising
of a timer softirq in mwait_idle_with_hints() if the timer had expired,
previous to commit 3faf0866a3, which removed
that logic.

This patch fixes the usage of the TSC deadline timer with suspension, by
unconditionally raising a timer softirq on resume, that will take care of
rearming the hardware timer.  Given that a timer softirq will be
unconditionally risen, there's no need to save and restore the APIC Initial
Count Register anymore either.

Note that secondary processors don't need this special treatment when
resuming, since they are offlined before suspension and brought back up
during resume, the first timer that gets setup will trigger a timer softirq
unconditionally, for example from sched_migrate_timers() that gets called
for each secondary processor.
