[ Upstream commit c7dacf5b0f32957b24ef29df1207dc2cd8307743 ]

If the txdone is done by polling, it is possible for msg_submit() to start
the timer while txdone_hrtimer() callback is running. If the timer needs
recheduling, it could already be enqueued by the time hrtimer_forward_now()
is called, leading hrtimer to loudly complain.

[...]

This can be fixed by not starting the timer from the callback path. Which
requires the timer reloading as long as any message is queued on the
channel, and not just when current tx is not done yet.
