ARM: OMAP: Avoid updating system time for sub-jiffy interrupts

Updating system time and reprogramming timer can cause latency
issues on busy systems with lots of interrupts with constant
updating of time and reprogramming the system timer.

If a non-timer dyntick interrupt happens within a jiffy from
the last interrupt, updating time and reprogramming the timer
is unnecessary as we will get a timer interrupt soon anyways.
