3.18.36-rt38-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

There is no reason to limit the TWD to be used on SMP kernels only if the
hardware has it available.
On Wandboard i.MX6SOLO, running PREEMPT-RT and cyclictest I see as max
immediately after start in idle:
UP : ~90us
SMP: ~50us
UP + TWD: ~20us.
Based on this numbers I prefer the TWD over the slightly slower MXC
timer.
