Add the "timers: do not raise softirq unconditionally" temporarily

This patch enable the nohz_full and is important for RT. Bring it back
temporarily, while waiting for more work on RT community.

Please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/17/783 for more information
of the revert.

A little rebase needed because it's reverted on old code base.

Please notice that we change the rt_mutex_trylock() so that we can get
the tvec_base lock there. This is sure to be wrong, and should be fixed
cleanly. And that's the major reason the original patch are reverted on the
upstream RT linux. Will discuss with upstream on how to achieve the
solution.

Upstream status: pending
