Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 116/165] hrtimers: Move lock held region in hrtimer_interrupt()

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

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.
