The current decision whether a timer can be queued on a remote CPU checks for timer->expiry <= remote_cpu_base.expires_next. This is too restrictive because a timer with the same expiry time as an existing timer will be enqueued on right-hand size of the existing timer inside the rbtree, i.e. behind the first expiring timer. So its safe to allow enqueuing timers with the same expiry time as the first expiring timer on a remote CPU base.
