During clock_settime absolute realtime timers may get updated to expire
sooner in absolute monotonic time but if hrtimer_force_reprogram is
called as part of a clock_settime and the next hard hrtimer expires
before the next soft hrtimer softirq_expires_next will not be updated
to reflect this change (assuming the realtime timer is a soft timer).

This means that if the next soft hrtimer expires before
softirq_expires_next but after now no soft hrtimer interrupt will be
raised in hrtimer_interrupt which will instead retry tick_program_event
three times before forcing a tick_program_event using a very short delay
entering hrtimer_interrupt again almost immediately repeating the
process over and over again until now exceeds softirq_expires_next and a
soft hrtimer interrupt is finally raised.

This patch aims to solve this by always updating softirq_expires_next if
a soft hrtimer exists.
