Subject: [PATCH] get rid of [softirq-NULL]

if CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is not configured, still the hrtimer-softirq
is started, so to prevent the name 'softirq-NULL' in 'ps' output we
should still define its name here.
Preventing the softirq from starting at all would touch much more code, so
I chose the easy way here, it is a cosmetic fix anyway.
