4.19.94-rt39-rc2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 2c8fdbe7ef0ad06c1a326886c5954e117b5657d6 ]

The update to timer->base is protected by the base->cpu_base->lock().
However, hrtimer_grab_expirty_lock() does not access it with the lock.

So it would theorically be possible to have timer->base changed under
our feet. We need to prevent the compiler to refetch timer->base so the
check and the access is performed on the same base.

Other access of timer->base are either done with a lock or protected
with READ_ONCE(). So use READ_ONCE() in hrtimer_grab_expirty_lock().
