Subject: [PATCH 270/342] timers: Redo the notification of canceling timers on
 -RT
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=e0d1c4cbc44a31f090ff94e4c029f31c97d2391d

[ Upstream commit c71273154c2ad12e13333aada340ff30e826a11b ]

Rework of the hrtimer, timer and posix-timer cancelation interface
on -RT. Instead of the swait/schedule interface we now have locks
which are taken while timer is active. During the cancellation of an
active timer the lock is acquired. The lock will then either
PI-boost the timer or block and wait until the timer completed.
The new code looks simpler and does not trigger a warning from
rcu_note_context_switch() anymore like reported by Grygorii Strashko
and Daniel Wagner.
The patches were contributed by Anna-Maria Gleixner.

This is an all in one commit of the following patches:
| [PATCH] timers: Introduce expiry spin lock
| [PATCH] timers: Drop expiry lock after each timer invocation
| [PATCH] hrtimer: Introduce expiry spin lock
| [PATCH] posix-timers: move rcu out of union
| [PATCH] posix-timers: Add expiry lock
