Timers, that have to expire on a specific CPU, require the TIMER_PINNED flag. If the CPU doesn't matter, the TIMER_PINNED flag must be dropped. This is required for call sites which use the timer alternately as pinned and not pinned timer like workqueues do. Therefore use add_timer_global() in __queue_delayed_work() for non-bound delayed work to make sure the TIMER_PINNED flag is dropped.
