[PATCH v7 16/21] timer: Restructure internal locking

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

From: "Richard Cochran (linutronix GmbH)" <richardcochran@xxxxxxxxx>

Move the locking out from __run_timers() to the call sites, so the
protected section can be extended at the call site. Preparatory patch for
changing the NOHZ timer placement to a pull at expiry time model.

No functional change.
