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

  Due to the conversion of the NOHZ timer placement to a pull at expiry
time model, the per CPU timer bases with non pinned timers are no
longer handled only by the local CPU. In case a remote CPU already
expires the non pinned timers base of the local cpu, nothing more
needs to be done by the local CPU. A check at the begin of the expire
timers routine is required, because timer base lock is dropped before
executing the timer callback function.

This is a preparatory work, but has no functional impact right now.

                                                  CPU

so it is consistent with the other.
