[PATCH RT 1/3] alarmtimer: Prevent live lock in alarm_cancel()

[Daniel Wagner]

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If alarm_try_to_cancel() requires a retry, then depending on the
priority setting the retry loop might prevent timer callback completion
on RT. Prevent that by waiting for completion on RT, no change for a
non RT kernel.
