hrtimers: Notify hrtimer users of switches to NOHZ mode

When NOHZ=y and high res timers are disabled (via cmdline or
Kconfig) tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() will notify the user about
switching into NOHZ mode. Nothing is printed for the case where
HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y. Fix this for the HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y case by
duplicating the printk from the low res NOHZ path in the high
res NOHZ path.

This confused me since I was thinking 'dmesg | grep -i NOHZ' would
tell me if NOHZ was enabled, but if I have hrtimers there is
nothing.
