Subject: hrtimer: Rename hrtimer_cpu_base::in_hrtirq to deferred_rearm
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9e07a9c980eaa93fd1bba722d31eeb4bf0cbbfb4;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

hrtimer: Rename hrtimer_cpu_base::in_hrtirq to deferred_rearm

The upcoming deferred rearming scheme has the same effect as the deferred
rearming when the hrtimer interrupt is executing. So it can reuse the
in_hrtirq flag, but when it gets deferred beyond the hrtimer interrupt
path, then the name does not make sense anymore.

Rename it to deferred_rearm upfront to keep the actual functional change
separate from the mechanical rename churn.
