From: Zhao Hongjiang <zhaohongjiang@xxxxxxxxxx>

When we run the test "taskset -c 1 stress -m 1 --vm-bytes 50M" and
"taskset -c 1 cyclictest -t 1 -p 80 -n -m -v" with rt closed 3.4.26-rt38 kernel,
the cyclictest's result is anomalous as follow:
0: 278: 1
0: 279: 2
0: 280: 17
0: 281: 1657
0: 282: 1680
0: 283: 4678
0: 284: 7026
0: 285: 6678
0: 286: 9677
0: 287: 12678
0: 288: 13090
0: 289: 14678
0: 290: 17677
0: 291: 20155
0: 292: 19678
0: 293: 22679
0: 294: 25676
0: 295: 26218
0: 296: 27679
0: 297: 30677
0: 298: 33283
0: 299: 32677
0: 300: 35676
and the result is increase continuously forever. We find that the patch
("hrtimer: fixup hrtimer callback changes for preempt-rt") has missed
hrtimer_peek_ahead_timers() in hrtimer_rt_run_pending() fuction in nort
code. We fix this and the test result isn't increase continuously as same
as the result with nort 3.4.26 kernel as follow:
0: 636: 8
0: 637: 7
0: 638: 8
0: 639: 9
0: 640: 7
0: 641: 9
