timers: Retrieve next expiry of pinned/non-pinned timers separately

For the conversion of the NOHZ timer placement to a pull at expiry time
model it's required to have separate expiry times for the pinned and the
non-pinned (movable) timers. Therefore struct timer_events is introduced.

No functional change
