Subject: [PATCH v7 10/21] timers: Ease code in run_local_timers()

The logic for raising a softirq the way it is implemented right now, is
readable for two timer bases. When increasing numbers of timer bases, code
gets harder to read. With the introduction of the timer migration
hierarchy, there will be three timer bases.

Therefore ease the code. No functional change.
