The code which arms the timer is not serialized against the callback so
the following can happen:

    CPU1                        CPU2

    __run_hrtimer(timer)
                                if (!hrtimer_queued(timer))
                                        hrtimer_start(timer);

       hrtimer_forward(timer)
         WARN_ON(hrtimer_queued(timer)

This really wants to use hrtimer_active() which takes the running
callback into account.

Thanks,
