hrtimer: Account nr_retries on recovered interrupt retries

Re-arranging hrtimer_interrupt() switched the retry path to a local
counter and dropped the update of cpu_base->nr_retries, leaving the
field exported via /proc/timer_list stuck at zero.

Increment nr_retries only when another pass through the expiry loop
is started; the third attempt that falls through to hang handling is
still accounted by nr_hangs alone.
