Subject: [PATCH tip/core/timers 5/5] timers: Make internal_add_timer() update ->next_timer if ->active_timers == 0

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

The internal_add_timer() function updates base->next_timer only if
timer->expires < base->next_timer. This is correct, but it also makes
sense to do the same if we add the first non-deferrable timer.
