Subject: [PATCH] Do deferrable flag check also for timers in tv2-tv5

Currently deferrable flag is checked only for timers in tv1. This
patch adds check for timers in tv2-tv5 also. This way
__next_timer_interrupt returns value earlier than timer_jiffies +
NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA only if there is a non-deferrable timer
scheduled.
