[PATCH 5.4 010/144] hrtimer: Avoid double reprogramming in __hrtimer_start_range_ns()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 627ef5ae2df8eeccb20d5af0e4cfa4df9e61ed28 ]

If __hrtimer_start_range_ns() is invoked with an already armed hrtimer then
the timer has to be canceled first and then added back. If the timer is the
first expiring timer then on removal the clockevent device is reprogrammed
to the next expiring timer to avoid that the pending expiry fires needlessly.

If the new expiry time ends up to be the first expiry again then the clock
event device has to reprogrammed again.

Avoid this by checking whether the timer is the first to expire and in that
case, keep the timer on the current CPU and delay the reprogramming up to
the point where the timer has been enqueued again.
