hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup

hrtimer_wakeup creates a

  base->lock
    rq->lock

lock dependancy. Avoid this by switching to HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ
which doesn't hold base->lock.

This fully untangles hrtimer locks from the scheduler locks, and allows
hrtimer usage in the scheduler proper.
