During boot kthread_bind() is used for the creation of per-CPU threads and then hangs in wait_task_inactive() if the ksoftirqd is not yet up and running. The hang disappeared since commit 26c7295be0c5e ("kthread: Do not preempt current task if it is going to call schedule()") but enabling function trace on boot reliably leads to the freeze on boot behaviour again. The timer in wait_task_inactive() can not be directly used by a user interface to abuse it and create a mass wake up of several tasks at the same time leading to long sections with disabled interrupts. Therefore it is safe to make the timer HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD. Switch the timer to HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD.
