The patch doesn't apply for me in semi-serious ways because I applied
rather a lot of timer-related patches:

timer-stats-fix-del_timer_sync-and-try_to_del_timer_sync.patch
posix-cpu-timers-reset-expire-cache-when-no-timer-is-running.patch
hrtimer-correct-a-few-numbers-in-comments.patch
clockevents-ensure-taht-min_delta_ns-is-increased-in-error-path.patch
clocksource-add-argument-to-resume-callback.patch
clocksource-start-cmt-at-clocksource-resume.patch
clocksource-add-suspend-callback.patch
posix-timersc-dont-export-local-functions.patch
timers-introduce-the-concept-of-timer-slack-for-legacy-timers.patch
cpu-timers-simplify-rlimit_cpu-handling.patch
cpu-timers-cleanup-arm_timer.patch
cpu-timers-return-correct-previous-timer-reload-value.patch
cpu-timers-change-sigev_none-timer-implementation.patch
cpu-timers-assure-to-not-iterate-over-all-threads-in-fastpath_timer_check.patch
cpu-timers-optimize-run_posix_cpu_timers.patch


(The above patches are up to six months old.  Something isn't working right).
