On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels unmarked hrtimers are moved into soft
interrupt expiry mode by default.
While that's not a functional requirement for the KVM local APIC timer
emulation, it's a latency issue which can be avoided by marking the timer
so hard interrupt context expiry is enforced.
No functional change.
