itimers: remove the per-cpu-ish-ness

Either we bounce once cacheline per cpu per tick, yielding n^2 bounces
or we just bounce a single..

Also, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the
per-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized
allocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based,
which is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs.

So making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of
processes is an issue.

Lastly, it didn't deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might
be fixable.
