Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Let the timer expire in hardirq context
 on RT
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.2/older/patches-5.2.10-rt5.tar.xz

The timers are canceled from an preempt-notifier which is invoked with
disabled preemption which is not allowed on PREEMPT_RT.
The timer callback is short so in could be invoked in hard-IRQ context
on -RT.

Let the timer expire on hard-IRQ context even on -RT.
