[PATCH] hrtimers: fix reprogramming SMP race

hrtimer_start() incorrectly set the 'reprogram' flag to enqueue_hrtimer(),
which should only be 1 if the hrtimer is queued to the current CPU.

Doing otherwise could result in a reprogramming of the current CPU's
clockevents device, with a timer that is not queued to it - resulting in a
bogus next expiry value.
