From: "Paul E. McKenney"
Although smp_call_function() has the advantage of simplicity, using
it to check for cross-CPU clock desynchronization means that any CPU
being slow reduces the sensitivity of the checking across all CPUs.
And it is not uncommon for smp_call_function() latencies to be in the
hundreds of microseconds.
This commit therefore switches to smp_call_function_single(), so that
delays from a given CPU affect only those measurements involving that
particular CPU.
