hrtimer: Unify hrtimer removal handling

Browse source 
When the first hrtimer on the current CPU is removed,
hrtimer_force_reprogram() is invoked but only when
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is set.

hrtimer_force_reprogram() updates hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next and
reprograms the clock event device. When CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and
hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is set, a pointless hrtimer interrupt can be
prevented.

hrtimer_check_target() makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision. As soon as
hrtimer_check_target() is unconditionally available and
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next is updated by hrtimer_reprogram(),
hrtimer_force_reprogram() needs to be available unconditionally as well to
prevent the following scenario with CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n:

- the first hrtimer on this CPU is removed and hrtimer_force_reprogram() is
  not executed

- CPU goes idle (next timer is calculated and hrtimers are taken into
  account)

- a hrtimer is enqueued remote on the idle CPU: hrtimer_check_target()
  compares expiry value and hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next. The expiry value
  is after expires_next, so the hrtimer is enqueued. This timer will fire
  late, if it expires before the effective first hrtimer on this CPU and
  the comparison was with an outdated expires_next value.

To prevent this scenario, make hrtimer_force_reprogram() unconditional
except the effective reprogramming part, which gets eliminated by the
compiler in the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n case.
