4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1b0f84380b10ee97f7d2dd191294de9017e94d1d upstream. If the time to the next alarm is short enough, we could race with HW and end up with an ~4 second delay until it triggers. Fix this by checking again after we update HW.
