timers: Use proper base migration in add_timer_on()
commit
22b886dd1018093920c4250dee2a9a3cb7cff7b8 upstream.
Regardless of the previous CPU a timer was on, add_timer_on()
currently simply sets timer->flags to the new CPU. As the caller must
be seeing the timer as idle, this is locally fine, but the timer
leaving the old base while unlocked can lead to race conditions as
follows.
Let's say timer was on cpu 0.
cpu 0 cpu 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
del_timer(timer) succeeds
del_timer(timer)
lock_timer_base(timer) locks cpu_0_base
add_timer_on(timer, 1)
spin_lock(&cpu_1_base->lock)
timer->flags set to cpu_1_base
operates on @timer operates on @timer
This triggered with mod_delayed_work_on() which contains
"if (del_timer()) add_timer_on()" sequence eventually leading to the
following oops.

Fix it by updating add_timer_on() to perform proper migration as
__mod_timer() does.
Mike: apply tglx backport
