timer: Write timer->flags atomically
lock_timer_base() cannot prevent the following :
CPU1 ( in __mod_timer()
timer->flags |= TIMER_MIGRATING;
spin_unlock(&base->lock);
base = new_base;
spin_lock(&base->lock);
// The next line clears TIMER_MIGRATING
timer->flags &= ~TIMER_BASEMASK;
CPU2 (in lock_timer_base())
see timer base is cpu0 base
spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock, *flags);
if (timer->flags == tf)
return base; // oops, wrong base
timer->flags |= base->cpu // too late
We must write timer->flags in one go, otherwise we can fool other cpus.
Fixes: bc7a34b8b9eb ("timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled")
