[RFC,2/7] hrtimer: don't check for active hrtimer after adding it

Message ID 13861232628603285a2734e32b309abd73c8741c.1404888801.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org

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().

This patch updates hrtimer core to get this fixed.

Maybe safe to remove this if condition too.
