Why can't we just Let swapper be the owner when in irq with no dummy?

Thanks Mike for the suggestion.  That may also work. Unfortunately
somehow I'm still having a hung problem, which may be related to the
priority of the interrupt handler task.

I have "don't raise timer unconditionally" re-applied, the check for a
running callback bits of my nohz_full fixlet, and the below on top of
that, and all _seems_ well.

But not so well on 64 core box.  That has nothing to do with hacklet
though, re-applying timers-do-not-raise-softirq-unconditionally.patch
without thta hangs the 64 core box during boot with no help from me
other than to patchlet to let nohz work at all, seems there's another
issue lurking there.  Hohum.  Without 'don't raise..", big box is fine.

If you get your patch to work, I could try my test that was able to
reproduce the problem consistently.

Thanks,
Mak.
