Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] hrtimer: Use __raise_softirq_irqoff() to raise the softirq.

As an optimisation use __raise_softirq_irqoff() to raise the softirq.
This is always called from an interrupt handler so it can be reduced to
just or set softirq flag and let softirq be invoked on return from
interrupt.

Use __raise_softirq_irqoff() to raise the softirq.
