timers: Sanitize catchup_timer_jiffies() usage
catchup_timer_jiffies() has been applied blindly to several functions without looking for possible better ways to do it. 1) internal_add_timer() Move the update to base->all_timers before we actually insert the timer into the wheel. 2) detach_if_pending() Again the update to base->all_timers allows us to explicitely do the timer_jiffies update in place, if this was the last timer which got removed. 3) __run_timers() We only check on entry, which is silly, because base->timer_jiffies can be behind - especially on NOHZ kernels - and if there is a single deferrable timer somewhere between base->timer_jiffies and jiffies we expire it and then loop until base->timer_jiffies == jiffies. Move it into the loop.
