Subject: [PATCH V2 27/36] hrtimer: call switch_hrtimer_base() after setting new expiry time

In switch_hrtimer_base() we are calling hrtimer_check_target() which guarantees
this:

/*
 * With HIGHRES=y we do not migrate the timer when it is expiring
 * before the next event on the target cpu because we cannot reprogram
 * the target cpu hardware and we would cause it to fire late.
 *
 * Called with cpu_base->lock of target cpu held.
 */

But switch_hrtimer_base() is only called from one place, i.e.
__hrtimer_start_range_ns() and at the point (where we call
switch_hrtimer_base()) expiration time is not yet known as we call this routine
later:

hrtimer_set_expires_range_ns()

To fix this, we need to find the updated expiry time before calling
switch_hrtimer_base() from hrtimer_set_expires_range_ns().
