timers: Make the cpu base lock raw
The timers cpu base lock could not be converted to a raw spinlock becaue the lock held time was non-deterministic due to cascading and long lasting timer wheel traversals. The rework of the timer wheel to the new non-cascading model removed also the wheel traversals and the lock held times are deterministic now. This allows to make the lock raw and thereby unbreaks NOHz* on preempt-RT.
