time/sched_clock: Expire timer in hardirq context

To minimize latency, PREEMPT_RT kernels expires hrtimers in preemptible
softirq context by default. This can be overriden by marking the timer's
expiry with HRTIMER_MODE_HARD.

sched_clock_timer is missing this annotation: if its callback is preempted
and the duration of the preemption exceeds the wrap around time of the
underlying clocksource, sched clock will get out of sync.

Mark the sched_clock_timer for expiry in hard interrupt context.
