Revert "x86, timers: Check for pending timers after (device) interrupts"

This reverts commit 9bcbdd9c.

The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in:

  f5dc3753

: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected

And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing
from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency,
this could cause a performance regression.

The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency
as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more
often.
