This reverts commit c7dacf5b, "mailbox: avoid timer start from callback" The previous commit was reverted since it lead to a race that caused the hrtimer to not be started at all. The check for hrtimer_active() in msg_submit() will return true if the callback function txdone_hrtimer() is currently running. This function could return HRTIMER_NORESTART and then the timer will not be restarted, and also msg_submit() will not start the timer. This will lead to a message actually being submitted but no timer will start to check for its compleation. The original fix that added checking hrtimer_active() was added to avoid a warning with hrtimer_forward. Looking in the kernel another solution to avoid this warning is to check hrtimer_is_queued() before calling hrtimer_forward_now() instead. This however requires a lock so the timer is not started by msg_submit() inbetween this check and the hrtimer_forward() call.
