[PATCH RT 4/9] kernel/hrtimer: dont wakeup a process while holding the hrtimer base lock

[Steven Rostedt]

4.4.102-rt117-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We must not wake any process (and thus acquire the pi->lock) while
holding the hrtimer's base lock. This does not happen usually because
the hrtimer-callback is invoked in IRQ-context and so
raise_softirq_irqoff() does not wakeup a process.
However during CPU-hotplug it might get called from hrtimers_dead_cpu()
which would wakeup the thread immediately.
