Subject[PATCH RT 2/4] timer: do not spin_trylock() on UP
3.12.22-rt35-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

This will void a warning comming from the spin-lock debugging code. The
lock avoiding idea is from Steven Rostedt.
