Subject: [ 081/108] hrtimers: Move lock held region in hrtimer_interrupt()

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 196951e91262fccda81147d2bcf7fdab08668b40 upstream.

We need to update the base offsets from this code and we need to do
that under base->lock. Move the lock held region around the
ktime_get() calls. The ktime_get() calls are going to be replaced with
a function which gets the time and the offsets atomically.
