Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of fixes for the timers core:

   - Fix the warning condition in __run_timers() which does not take
     into account that a CPU base (especially the deferrable base) never
     has a timer armed on it and therefore the next_expiry value can
     become stale.

   - Replace a WARN_ON() in the NOHZ code with a WARN_ON_ONCE() to
     prevent endless spam in dmesg.

   - Remove the double star from a comment which is not meant to be in
     kernel-doc format"
