[PATCH v3] hrtimer: check hrtimer with a NULL function

To prevent improper usage of hrtimers and avoid potential kernel crashes,
this commit introduces a validation check for hrtimers with a valid function callback,
discard the hrtimers that have a NULL callback.

The `run_hrtimer` executes callbacks for every hrtimer,
and these callbacks must not be NULL. A NULL callback can lead to a kernel crash.
This update ensures that all hrtimers have properly initialized callbacks
before execution.
