hrtimer: Eliminate needless reprogramming of clock events device
On NOHZ systems the following timers,
- tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick (tick_sched_timer)
- hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer)
are reprogramming the clock events device far more often than needed
because there is no check to see if the currently removed or restarted
hrtimer is:
1) the one which previously armed the clock events device.
2) going to be replaced by another timer which has the same expiry time.
Avoid the reprogramming in hrtimer_force_reprogram when the new expiry
value which is evaluated from the clock bases is equal to
cpu_base->expires_next.
This results in faster application startup time by ~4%.
