[RFC 1/7] hrtimer: Warn if hrtimer_start*() failed to enqueue hrtimer

hrtimer_start*() family never fails to enqueue a hrtimer to a clock-base. The
only special case is when the hrtimer was in past. If it is getting enqueued to
local CPUs's clock-base, we raise a softirq and exit, else we handle that on
next interrupt on remote CPU.

At several places in kernel we check if hrtimer is enqueued properly with
hrtimer_active(). This isn't required and can be dropped.

Before fixing that, lets make sure hrtimer is always enqueued properly by adding

WARN_ON_ONCE(!hrtimer_active(timer));

towards the end of __hrtimer_start_range_ns().
