softirq: introduce tasklet_hrtimer infrastructure
commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) moved all
hrtimer callbacks into hard interrupt context when high resolution
timers are active. That breaks code which relied on the assumption
that the callback happens in softirq context.
Provide a generic infrastructure which combines tasklets and hrtimers
together to provide an in-softirq hrtimer experience.
