bpf: Reject bpf_timer for PREEMPT_RT

[ Upstream commit e25ddfb388c8b7e5f20e3bf38d627fb485003781 ]

When enable CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, the kernel will warn when run timer
selftests by './test_progs -t timer':

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

In order to avoid such warning, reject bpf_timer in verifier when
PREEMPT_RT is enabled.
