Latency histogram broken after "hrtimer: Set expiry time before switch_hrtimer_base()"

In an rt-kernel with CONFIG_MISSED_TIMER_OFFSETS_HIST enabled,
__hrtimer_start_range_ns() now crashes, as new_base is not assigned
before it is used.

I'm not sure how this should be fixed; is it:

if (ktime_to_ns(tim) < ktime_to_ns(now))
timer->praecox = now;
--- END ---

or something else?
