hrtimer: fix recursion deadlock by re-introducing the softirq
Impact: fix rare runtime deadlock There are a few sites that do: spin_lock_irq(&foo) hrtimer_start(&bar) __run_hrtimer(&bar) func() spin_lock(&foo) which obviously deadlocks. In order to avoid this, never call __run_hrtimer() from hrtimer_start*() context, but instead defer this to softirq context.
