Subject: KVM: arm/arm64: Let the timer expire in hardirq context on RT
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1
Git-commit: 9090825fa99740f0c794f94b9cbd57ad79101228
References: bsc#1162702
The timers are canceled from an preempt-notifier which is invoked with
disabled preemption which is not allowed on PREEMPT_RT.
The timer callback is short so in could be invoked in hard-IRQ context
on -RT.
Let the timer expire on hard-IRQ context even on -RT.
