Series timer: Move from a push remote at enqueue to a pull at expiry model |

Commit Message

  Separate the storage space for pinned timers. Deferrable timers (doesn't
matter if pinned or non pinned) are still enqueued into their own base.

This is preparatory work for changing the NOHZ timer placement from a push
at enqueue time to a pull at expiry time model.

v6:
  - Drop set TIMER_PINNED flag in add_timer_on() and drop related
    warning. add_timer_on() fix is splitted into a separate
    patch. Therefore also drop "Reviewed-by" of Frederic Weisbecker

v5:
  - Add WARN_ONCE() in add_timer_on()
  - Decrease patch size by splitting into three patches (this patch and the
    two before)

v4:
  - split out logic to forward base clock into a helper function
    forward_base_clk() (Frederic)
  - ease the code in run_local_timers() and timer_clear_idle() (Frederic)
