hrtimer: Make hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer handling unconditional

hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer stores the pointer to the next expiring timer
in a CPU base.

This pointer cannot be dereferenced and is solely used to check whether a
hrtimer which is removed is the hrtimer which is the first to expire in the
CPU base. If this is the case, then the timer hardware needs to be
reprogrammed to avoid an extra interrupt for nothing.

Again, this is conditional functionality, but there is no compelling reason
to make this conditional. As a preparation, hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer
needs to be available unconditonally.

Aside of that the upcoming support for softirq based hrtimers requires access
to this pointer unconditionally as well, so our motivation is not entirely
simplicity based.

Make the update of hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer unconditional and remove the
#ifdef cruft. The impact on CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n && CONFIG_NOHZ=n is
marginal as it's just a store on an already dirtied cacheline.

No functional change.
