hrtimer: Implement support for softirq based hrtimers

hrtimer callbacks are always invoked in hard interrupt context. Several
users in tree require soft interrupt context for their callbacks and
achieve this by combining a hrtimer with a tasklet. The hrtimer schedules
the tasklet in hard interrupt context and the tasklet callback gets invoked
in softirq context later.

That's suboptimal and aside of that the real-time patch moves most of the
hrtimers into softirq context. So adding native support for hrtimers
expiring in softirq context is a valuable extension for both mainline and
the RT patch set.

Each valid hrtimer clock id has two associated hrtimer clock bases: one for
timers expiring in hardirq context and one for timers expiring in softirq
context.

Implement the functionality to associate a hrtimer with the hard or softirq
related clock bases and update the relevant functions to take them into
account when the next expiry time needs to be evaluated.

Add a check into the hard interrupt context handler functions to check
whether the first expiring softirq based timer has expired. If it's expired
the softirq is raised and the accounting of softirq based timers to
evaluate the next expiry time for programming the timer hardware is skipped
until the softirq processing has finished. At the end of the softirq
processing the regular processing is resumed.
