[PATCH 4/6] timer interrupt: use a struct for two per_cpu varables

timer_interrupt was calculating per_cpu_offset several times, having to
start from the toc because of potential aliasing issues.
Placing both decrementer per_cpu varables in a struct and calculating
the address once with __get_cpu_var results in better code on both 32
and 64 bit.
