Since we are no longer descheduling/scheduling soft timers in the flush/sync timer functions, simply moving the timer flush into a non-preemptible section.

If the concern is touching the wrong per-CPU GIC distributor registers, it should be sufficient on -rt to downgrade the preempt_disable() / preempt_enable() to a migrate_disable() / migrate_enable(), which is preemptible, but prevents the task from moving to another CPU.
