Subject: [PATCH 067/323] timers: Don't block on ->expiry_lock for
 TIMER_IRQSAFE
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.215-rt107.tar.xz

PREEMPT_RT does not spin and wait until a running timer completes its
callback but instead it blocks on a sleeping lock to prevent a deadlock.

This blocking can not be done for workqueue's IRQ_SAFE timer which will
be canceled in an IRQ-off region. It has to happen to in IRQ-off region
because changing the PENDING bit and clearing the timer must not be
interrupted to avoid a busy-loop.

The callback invocation of IRQSAFE timer is not preempted on PREEMPT_RT
so there is no need to synchronize on timer_base::expiry_lock.

Don't acquire the timer_base::expiry_lock for TIMER_IRQSAFE flagged
timer.
Add a lockdep annotation to ensure that this function is always invoked
in preemptible context on PREEMPT_RT.
