migrate_hrtimer() is called when a CPU goes down and its timers are required to be migrated to some other CPU. Its the responsibility of the users of the hrtimer to remove it before control reaches to migrate_hrtimer(). As these were the pinned hrtimers, the best we can do is: don't migrate these and report to the user as well. That's all this patch does.
