The current clock notifier sends an IPI to all CPUs, even if they are in
deep sleep state with the local timer disabled and switched to tick
broadcast. This needlessly cuts the CPU sleep times, as nothing is gained
from updating a disabled TWDs rate.

Keep track of the enabled TWDs and only send an IPI to those CPUs with an
active local timer. As disabled TWDs may now miss a CPU frequency update
we need to make sure to refresh the rate on re-enabling of the timer.

Sounds like a nice optimization. However I'm not sure about the solidity
of the solution regarding the existing.

The twd_update_frequency() function is called in parallel on each cpu
and they all change the global variable twd_timer_rate. The proposed
solution relies on the existing mechanism where we can be calling
clockevents_update_freq() while twd_update_frequency() is called on
another CPU.

In addition, the frequency update may be needed in other drivers, like
the mips-gic-timer.c. May be a generic solution would be appropriate.
