hrtimer: Annotate lockless access to timer->base



Followup to commit dd2261ed ("hrtimer: Protect lockless access
to timer->base")

lock_hrtimer_base() fetches timer->base without lock exclusion.

Compiler is allowed to read timer->base twice (even if considered dumb)
which could end up trying to lock migration_base and return
&migration_base.

  base = timer->base;
  if (likely(base != &migration_base)) {

       /* compiler reads timer->base again, and now (base == &migration_base)

       raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&base->cpu_base->lock, *flags);
       if (likely(base == timer->base))
            return base; /* == &migration_base ! */

Similarly the write sides must use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.
