4.19.94-rt39-rc2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit cef1b87f98823af923a386f3f69149acb212d4a1 ]
As tglx puts it: |If base == migration_base then there is no point to lock soft_expiry_lock |simply because the timer is not executing the callback in soft irq context |and the whole lock/unlock dance can be avoided.
Furthermore, all the path leading to hrtimer_grab_expiry_lock() assumes timer->base and timer->base->cpu_base are always non-NULL. So it is safe to remove the NULL checks here.
