SGI Altix IA64 mmtimer: eliminate long interval timer holdoffs

This patch for SGI Altix/IA64 eliminates interval long timer holdoffs in
cases where we don't start an interval timer before the expiration time.
This sometimes happens when a number of interval timers on the same shub
with the same interval run simultaneously.
