Subject: [PATCH] highres: warn on softirq handling an unsafe callback

run_hrtimer_queue is called from a softirq context, and should never run
a callback that is classified as HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ.  A bug
in unrelated code had managed to trigger that bug, so let's add an
explicit warning to this function.
