Subject: [PATCH v8 20/25] timer: Restructure internal locking

From: "Richard Cochran (linutronix GmbH)" <richardcochran@...il.com>

Move the locking out from __run_timers() to the call sites, so the
protected section can be extended at the call site. Preparatory patch for
changing the NOHZ timer placement to a pull at expiry time model.

No functional change.
