Subject: [PATCH v2] hrtimer: Add a missing bracket and hide `migration_base'
 on !SMP

The recent change to avoid taking the expiry lock when a 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")

v1…v2:
	- use is_migration_base() as a helper function
	- slightly reword the commit message
