hrtimer: Introduce HARD expiry mode
On PREEMPT_RT not all hrtimers can be expired in hard interrupt context
even if that is perfectly fine on a PREEMPT_RT=n kernel, e.g. because they
take regular spinlocks. Also for latency reasons PREEMPT_RT tries to defer
most hrtimers' expiry into soft interrupt context.
But there are hrtimers which must be expired in hard interrupt context even
when PREEMPT_RT is enabled:
- hrtimers which must expiry in hard interrupt context, e.g. scheduler,
perf, watchdog related hrtimers
- latency critical hrtimers, e.g. nanosleep, ..., kvm lapic timer
Add a new mode flag HRTIMER_MODE_HARD which allows to mark these timers so
PREEMPT_RT will not move them into softirq expiry mode.
