[PATCH 21/26] kern_tc.c: Scaling/large delta recalculation

Mon Nov 8 06:27:49 UTC 2021
This change is a slight performance optimization for systems with a slow
64-bit division.
The th->th_scale and th->th_large_delta values only depend on the
timecounter frequency and the th->th_adjustment. The timecounter
frequency of a timehand only changes when a new timecounter is activated
for the timehand. The th->th_adjustment is only changed by the NTP
second update. The NTP second update is not done for every call of
tc_windup().
Move the code block to recalculate the scaling factor and
the large delta of a timehand to the new helper function
recalculate_scaling_factor_and_large_delta().
Call recalculate_scaling_factor_and_large_delta() when a new timecounter
is activated and a NTP second update occurred.
