SCHED_DEADLINE inactive timer needs to run in hardirq context (as
dl_task_timer already does) on PREEMPT_RT
The message says "dl_task_timer already does" but this is not true for
v4.14 as it still runs in softirq context on RT. v4.19 has this either
via
  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190731103715.4047-1-juri.lelli@redhat.com

or the patch which got merged upstream.

Juri, I guess we want this for v4.14, too?

Change the mode to HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD.

[ tglx: Fixed up the start site, so mode debugging works ]
