hrtimer: Get rid of softirq time
The softirq time field in the clock bases is an optimization from the early days of hrtimers. It provides a coarse "jiffies" like time mostly for self rearming timers. But that comes with a price: - Larger code size - Extra storage space - Duplicated functions with really small differences The benefit of this is optimization is marginal for contemporary systems. Consolidate everything on the high resolution timer implementation. This makes further optimizations possible.
