Thomas Gleixner 6bad6bccf2 timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwarding
When a timer is enqueued we try to forward the timer base clock. This
mechanism has two issues:

1) Forwarding a remote base unlocked

The forwarding function is called from get_target_base() with the current
timer base lock held. But if the new target base is a different base than
the current base (can happen with NOHZ, sigh!) then the forwarding is done
on an unlocked base. This can lead to corruption of base->clk.

Solution is simple: Invoke the forwarding after the target base is locked.

2) Possible corruption due to jiffies advancing

This is similar to the issue in get_net_timer_interrupt() which was fixed
in the previous patch. jiffies can advance between check and assignement
and therefore advancing base->clk beyond the next expiry value.

So we need to read jiffies into a local variable once and do the checks and
assignment with the local copy.
