4.9.65-rt57-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We must not wake any process (and thus acquire the pi->lock) while holding the hrtimer's base lock. This does not happen usually because the hrtimer-callback is invoked in IRQ-context and so raise_softirq_irqoff() does not wakeup a process. However during CPU-hotplug it might get called from hrtimers_dead_cpu() which would wakeup the thread immediately.
