Hmmm. If active_timers is 0 and "time_before_eq(base->next_timer,
jiffies))" is true than that timer should have been initialized with
init_timer_deferrable() or we have a serious bug here where
active_timers isn't properly synchronized anymore.

Now. If there is really just a deferrable timer that expired and nothing
else then this would explain it.
