hrtimer: Correct blatantly incorrect comment
The protection of a hrtimer which runs its callback against migration to a
different CPU has nothing to do with hard interrupt context.
The protection against migration of a hrtimer running the expiry callback
is the pointer in the cpu_base which holds a pointer to the currently
running timer. This pointer is evaluated in the code which potentially
switches the timer base and makes sure it's kept on the CPU on which the
callback is running.
