The timer->lock is needed in __mod_timer() because the freshly
inited timer has base == NULL, so __mod_timer() can't use old_base
for synchronization.
With this patch init_timer() sets ->_base = per_cpu(tvec_bases).
This simplifies the code because we don't need to check that
base != NULL, and slightly speedups __mod_timer(). And reduces
the timer_list's size.
One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases).
So this patch adds global
struct {
spinlock_t lock;
struct timer_list *running_timer;
} fake_timer_base;
which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER.
It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems.
The global fake_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer()
is called for the first time and the timer was compile time
initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.
