hrtimer: Optimize the hrtimer code by using static keys for migration_enable/nohz_active

The hrtimer_cpu_base::migration_enable and ::nohz_active fields
were originally introduced to avoid accessing global variables
for these decisions.

Still that results in a (cache hot) load and conditional branch,
which can be avoided by using static keys.

Implement it with static keys and optimize for the most critical
case of high performance networking which tends to disable the
timer migration functionality.

No change in functionality.
