[PATCH] hrtimers: optimize softirq runqueues

The hrtimer softirq is called from the timer softirq every tick.  Retrieve the
current time from xtime and wall_to_monotonic instead of calling
base->get_time() for each timer base.  Store the time in the base structure
and provide a hook once clock source abstractions are in place and to keep the
code open for new base clocks.

Based on a patch from: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>
