KVM: LAPIC: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels unmarked hrtimers are moved into soft interrupt expiry mode by default. While that's not a functional requirement for the KVM local APIC timer emulation, it's a latency issue which can be avoided by marking the timer so hard interrupt context expiry is enforced. No functional change. [ tglx: Split out from larger combo patch.
