    The recently-added code which avoids a lockup when a timer handler re-adds
    the timer right now can be simplified.
    
    If we change __run_timers() to increment base->timer_jiffies _before_ running
    the timers, then any re-additions will not be inserted in the list which
    __run_timers is presently walking.
