Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of timer related fixes:

   - Plug a race between rearm and process tick in the posix CPU timers
     code

   - Make the optimization to avoid recalculation of the next timer
     interrupt work correctly when there are no timers pending"

* tag 'timers-urgent-2021-07-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() with no timers pending
  posix-cpu-timers: Fix rearm racing against process tick
