hrtimer: fix rq->lock inversion (again)
It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the
hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired
timers to softirq context.
This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but
__raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup.
It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and
do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor
am I convinced its really needed.
