hrtimer: Unify remote enqueue handling
hrtimer_reprogram() is conditionally invoked from hrtimer_start_range_ns()
when hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is true.
In the !hres_active case there is a special condition for the nohz_active
case:
If the newly enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
remote CPU then the remote CPU needs to be notified and woken up from a
NOHZ idle sleep to take the new first expiring timer into account.
Previous changes have already established the prerequisites to make the
remote enqueue behaviour the same whether high resolution mode is active or
not:
If the to be enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
remote CPU, then it cannot be enqueued there.
This was done for the high resolution mode because there is no way to
access the remote CPU timer hardware. The same is true for NOHZ, but was
handled differently by unconditionally enqueuing the timer and waking up
the remote CPU so it can reprogram its timer. Again there is no compelling
reason for this difference.
hrtimer_check_target(), which makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision is
already unconditional, but not yet functional because nothing updates
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next in the !hres_active case.
To unify this the following changes are required:
1) Make the store of the new first expiry time unconditonal in
hrtimer_reprogram() and check __hrtimer_hres_active() before proceeding
to the actual hardware access. This check also lets the compiler
eliminate the rest of the function in case of CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n.
2) Invoke hrtimer_reprogram() unconditionally from
hrtimer_start_range_ns()
3) Remove the remote wakeup special case for the !high_res && nohz_active
case.
Confine the timers_nohz_active static key to timer.c which is the only user
now.
