Subject: timers: Avoid the switch timers base set to NULL trick on RT
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:23:39 +0200
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.6/older/patches-4.6.2-rt5.tar.xz
On RT that code is preemptible, so we cannot assign NULL to timers
base as a preempter would spin forever in lock_timer_base().
