Steven Rostedt ee3ece830f 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 0c96c5979a

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.
