Something like this perhaps:

Instead of sending an IPI unconditionally, check each per CPU hrtimer base
whether it has active timers in the CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI bases. If
that's not the case, update the realtime and TAI base offsets remotely and
skip the IPI. This ensures that any subsequently armed timers on
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI are evaluated with the correct offsets.

Hmm?

That's a pretty elaborate way of writing:

return (cpu_base->active_bases & CLOCK_SET_BASES) != 0;

That preempt disable is only required around the function call, for the
loop cpus_read_lock() is sufficient.

My brain compiler tells me that with CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n a real
compiler will emit a warning about a defined, but unused label....
