[PATCH] hres_timers_resume must block interrupts

[Joe Korty]

Retrigger_next_event() must be called with interrupts disabled.

All internal (to hrtimer.c) uses of retrigger_next_event() are correct.
But the version exported to other files, hres_timers_resume(), does not
do the IRQ blocking, nor does the (single) external caller of it.

Rather than require that users of hres_timers_resume() do the IRQ blocking,
this patch makes the blocking part of the hres_timers_resume() functionality.

(Also remove the meaningless WARN_ON_ONCE() call in hres_timers_resume)
