hrtimer: Keep pointer to first timer and simplify __remove_hrtimer()
__remove_hrtimer() needs to evaluate the expiry time to figure out
whether the timer which is removed is eventually the first expiring
timer on the cpu. Keep a pointer to it, which is lazily updated, so we
can avoid the evaluation dance and retrieve the information from there.
Generates slightly better code.
