Merge tag 'timers_urgent_for_v6.13_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer fix from Borislav Petkov:

 - Handle the case where clocksources with small counter width can,
   in conjunction with overly long idle sleeps, falsely trigger the
   negative motion detection of clocksources
