[PATCH v8 06/25] timers: Split out forward timer base functionality

From: Anna-Maria Behnsen
Date: Wed Oct 04 2023 - 08:35:47 EST


Forwarding timer base is done when the next expiry value is calculated and
when a new timer is enqueued. When the next expiry value is calculated the
jiffies value is already available and does not need to be reread a second
time.

Splitting out the forward timer base functionality to make it executable
via both contextes - those where jiffies are already known and those, where
jiffies need to be read.

No functional change.
