commit c54bc0fc84214b203f7a0ebfd1bd308ce2abe920 upstream.
When the timer base is empty, base::next_expiry is set to base::clk +
NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA and base::next_expiry_recalc is false. When no timer
is queued until jiffies reaches base::next_expiry value, the warning for
not finding any expired timer and base::next_expiry_recalc is false in
__run_timers() triggers.
To prevent triggering the warning in this valid scenario
base::timers_pending needs to be added to the warning condition.
Fixes: 31cd0e119d50 ("timers: Recalculate next timer interrupt only when necessary")
