softirq: Prepare for deferred hrtimer rearming

The hrtimer interrupt expires timers and at the end of the interrupt it
rearms the clockevent device for the next expiring timer.

That's obviously correct, but in the case that a expired timer sets
NEED_RESCHED the return from interrupt ends up in schedule(). If HRTICK is
enabled then schedule() will modify the hrtick timer, which causes another
reprogramming of the hardware.

That can be avoided by deferring the rearming to the return from interrupt
path and if the return results in a immediate schedule() invocation then it
can be deferred until the end of schedule(), which avoids multiple rearms
and re-evaluation of the timer wheel.

In case that the return from interrupt ends up handling softirqs before
reaching the rearm conditions in the return to user entry code functions, a
deferred rearm has to be handled before softirq handling enables interrupts
as soft interrupt handling can be long and would therefore introduce hard
to diagnose latencies to the timer interrupt.

Place the for now empty stub call right before invoking the softirq
handling routine.
