hrtimer: migration: always subtract base->offset

The new timer migration code treats the !HIGHRES case special when
calculating the CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry time to validate whether
a timer should be enqueued on a different CPU or not.

This is wrong as a CLOCK_REALTIME based timer expiry value needs to be
converted to CLOCK_MONOTONIC in any case.
