hrtimer: Use linked timerqueue
To prepare for optimizing the rearming of enqueued timers, switch to the
linked timerqueue. That allows to check whether the new expiry time changes
the position of the timer in the RB tree or not, by checking the new expiry
time against the previous and the next timers expiry.
