[PATCH v8 13/25] timer: add_timer_on(): Make sure TIMER_PINNED flag is set

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

When adding a timer to the timer wheel using add_timer_on(), it is an
implicitly pinned timer. With the timer pull at expiry time model in place,
TIMER_PINNED flag is required to make sure timers end up in proper base.

Add TIMER_PINNED flag unconditionally when add_timer_on() is executed.
