Subject: timer: Fix lock inversion between hrtimer_bases.lock and scheduler locks
From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
commit 504d58745c9ca28d33572e2d8a9990b43e06075d upstream.
clockevents_increase_min_delta() calls printk() from under
hrtimer_bases.lock. That causes lock inversion on scheduler locks because
printk() can call into the scheduler. Lockdep puts it as:
