When a new timer is enqueued on a full dynticks target, that CPU must re-evaluate the next tick to handle the timer correctly. This is currently performed through the scheduler IPI. Meanwhile this happens at the cost of off-topic workarounds in that fast path to make it call irq_exit(). As we plan to remove this hack off the scheduler IPI, lets use the nohz full kick instead. Pretty much any IPI fits for that job as long at it calls irq_exit(). The nohz full kick just happens to be handy and readily available here. If it happens to be too much an overkill in the future, we can still turn that timer kick into an empty IPI.
