Is this correct by itself, or do we need to pull in the branch that
contains c6eb3f70d44828 ("hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq")
from Thomas? The other similar patches that Thomas did contain a
comment about the conversion being safe after hrtimer_start()
no longer uses a softirq, but it is still in use in 4.1-rc3.
