Subject: [RFC][PATCH] hrtimer: Use printk_deferred_once for hrtimer_interrupt message

With qemu, I constantly see lockdep warnings after the
hrimter_interrupt message is printed:

I thought the new printk work was going to resolve this, but
apparently not, so to avoid trying to printk in this problematic
context, lets use prink_deferred_once() instead.
