Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: Add a missing bracket and hide `migration_base' on
 !SMP

Commit
   68b2c8c1e4210 ("hrtimer: Don't take expiry_lock when timer is currently migrated")

missed to add a bracket at the end of the if statement leading to
compile errors.
Since that commit the variable `migration_base' is always used but only
available on SMP configuration thus leading to another compile error.
The changelog says
  "The timer base and base->cpu_base cannot be NULL in the code path"

so it is safe to limit this check to SMP configurations only.

Add the missing bracket to the if statement and hide `migration_base'
behind CONFIG_SMP bars.

Fixes: 68b2c8c1e4210 ("hrtimer: Don't take expiry_lock when timer is currently migrated")
