Subject: [PATCH v6 08/21] workqueue: Use global variant for add_timer()
Date:   Wed, 10 May 2023 09:28:04 +0200

The implementation of the NOHZ pull at expiry model will change the timer
bases per CPU. Timers, that have to expire on a specific CPU, require the
TIMER_PINNED flag. If the CPU doesn't matter, the TIMER_PINNED flag must be
dropped. This is required for call sites which use the timer alternately as
pinned and not pinned timer like workqueues do.

Therefore use add_timer_global() to make sure TIMER_PINNED flag is dropped.

v6:
  - New patch: As v6 provides unconditially setting TIMER_PINNED flag in
    add_timer_on() workqueue requires new add_timer_global() variant.
