[PATCH 2/5] sched: Fix cfs_bandwidth misuse ofhrtimer_expires_remaining

From: Ben Segall
Date: Wed Oct 16 2013 - 14:16:24 EST


hrtimer_expires_remaining does not take internal hrtimer locks and thus
must be guarded against concurrent __hrtimer_start_range_ns (but
returning HRTIMER_RESTART is safe). Use cfs_b->lock to make it safe.
