hrtimer: Prevent hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram race
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in
timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence.
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer
base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue
versus rq->lock.
If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on
the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU
can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call
will unlock the wrong lock.
