This reverts commit 032f93cae150a. The problem is that the look ahead optimization from the tick timer interrupt context can race with the softirq thread expiring timer. As a consequence the temporary hlist heads which hold the to expire timers are overwritten and the timers which are already removed from the wheel bucket for expiry are now dangling w/o a list head. That means those timers never get expired. If one of those timers is canceled the removal operation will result in a hlist corruption. Signed-off-by: Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@linutronix.de>
