RFC hrtimer: drop active hrtimer checks after adding it

hrtimer_start*() family never fails to enqueue a hrtimer to a clock-base. The only special case is when the hrtimer was in past. If it is getting enqueued to local CPUs's clock-base, we raise a softirq and exit, else we handle that on next interrupt on remote CPU.

At several places in the kernel, we try to make sure if hrtimer was added properly or not by calling hrtimer_active(), like:

	hrtimer_start(timer, expires, mode);
	if (hrtimer_active(timer)) {
		/* Added successfully */
	} else {
		/* Was added in the past */
	}

As hrtimer_start*() never fails, hrtimer_active() is guaranteed to return '1'. So, there is no point calling hrtimer_active().

First patch adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to __hrtimer_start_range_ns() to make sure hrtimers are always enqueued from it. Next 6 patches update several parts of kernel to drop calls to hrtimer_active() after starting a hrtimer.

Rebased over 3.16-rc4 and pushed here:
