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 softirq context. hrtimers marked with HRTIMER_MODE_HARD must be kept in hard interrupt context expiry mode. Add the required logic. No functional change for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels. [ tglx: Split out of a larger combo patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
