[PATCH 10/12] hrtimer: Update hrtimer_resolution only if value changes

Currently, the hrtimer_switch_to_hres() function unconditionally updates
hrtimer_resolution to HIGH_RES_NSEC.  This causes KCSAN false positives
in kernels built with CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y.  It also causes unnecessary
cache-line traffic on the many code paths that load hrtimer_resolution,
which is especially regrettable because the value of hrtimer_resolution
normally changes only once during the lifetime of a given kernel.

Therefore, update the value of hrtimer_resolution to HIGH_RES_NSEC only
if it does not already have that value.
