It's bad to play around with internal fields, especially when an
accessor API was provided to access those fields.

And lo, hrtimers got changed in linux-next:

drivers/pps/generators/pps_gen_parport.c: In function 'hrtimer_event':
drivers/pps/generators/pps_gen_parport.c:92: error: 'struct hrtimer' has no member named '_expires'

The documentation in hrtimer.h is of course complete crap and
Documentation/timers/hrtimers.txt appears to be bitrot, but with a little
sleuthing and guesswork, it seems that what you want here is
