hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier
2b8272ff ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent self deadlock on CPU hot-unplug") solved the straight forward CPU hotplug deadlock vs. the scheduler bandwidth timer. Yu discovered a more involved variant where a task which has a bandwidth timer started on the outgoing CPU holds a lock and then gets throttled. If the lock required by one of the CPU hotplug callbacks the hotplug operation deadlocks because the unthrottling timer event is not handled on the dying CPU and can only be recovered once the control CPU reaches the hotplug state which pulls the pending hrtimers from the dead CPU. Solve this by pushing the hrtimers away from the dying CPU in the dying callbacks. Nothing can queue a hrtimer on the dying CPU at that point because all other CPUs spin in stop_machine() with interrupts disabled and once the operation is finished the CPU is marked offline.
