    hrtimer: catch expired CLOCK_REALTIME timers early
    
    commit 63070a79ba482c274bad10ac8c4b587a3e011f2c
    
    A CLOCK_REALTIME timer, which has an absolute expiry time less than
    the clock realtime offset calls with a negative delta into the clock
    events code and triggers the WARN_ON() there.
    
    This is a false positive and needs to be prevented. Check the result
    of timer->expires - timer->base->offset right away and return -ETIME
    right away.
    
    Thanks to Frans Pop, who reported the problem and tested the fixes.
