Subject: hrtimer: by timers by default into the softirq context

We can't have hrtimers callbacks running in hardirq context on RT. Therefore
the timers are deferred to the softirq context by default.
There are few timers which expect to be run in hardirq context even on RT.
Those are:
- very short running where low latency is critical (kvm lapic)
- timers which take raw locks and need run in hard-irq context (perf, sched)
- wake up related timer (kernel side of clock_nanosleep() and so on)
