posix-timers: Use a callback for cancel synchronization on PREEMPT_RT Posix timer delete retry loops are affected by the same priority inversion and live lock issues as the other timers. Provide a RT specific synchronization function which keeps a reference to the timer by holding rcu read lock to prevent the timer from being freed, dropping the timer lock and invoking the timer specific wait function via a new callback. This does not yet cover posix CPU timers because they need more special treatment on PREEMPT_RT. [ This is folded into the original attempt which did not use a callback. ] Originally-by: Anna-Maria Gleixenr <anna-maria@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190819143801.656864506@linutronix.de
