hrtimer: prevent migration for raising softirq
Due to a possible deadlock, the waking of the softirq was pushed outside of the hrtimer base locks. See commit 0c96c597 Unfortunately this allows the task to migrate after setting up the softirq and raising it. Since softirqs run a queue that is per-cpu we may raise the softirq on the wrong CPU and this will keep the queued softirq task from running. To solve this issue, this patch disables preemption around the releasing of the hrtimer lock and raising of the softirq.
