Subject: timers: Preempt-rt support

The base->lock is a sleeping lock. Try not to workaround with a
spin_trylock(). The rt-mutex lock is not irq save even the try-lock
due to way how the inner lock accessed. Even with this fixed have the
problem that the owner is not the current process on the CPU but his
pid is used while taking the lock.  Therefore we go with ext jiffy for
the wakeup. Also drop preempt_disable() usage since we need just to
ensure not to switch CPUs (the data structures have own locks).

[bigeasy: dropped that spin try lock]
