4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner anna-maria@linutronix.de
commit 80d20d35af1edd632a5e7a3b9c0ab7ceff92769e upstream.
local_timer_softirq_pending() checks whether the timer softirq is pending with: local_softirq_pending() & TIMER_SOFTIRQ.
This is wrong because TIMER_SOFTIRQ is the softirq number and not a bitmask. So the test checks for the wrong bit.
Use BIT(TIMER_SOFTIRQ) instead.
