Currently an hrtimer callback function cannot free its own timer because __run_hrtimer() still needs to clear HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK after it. Freeing the timer would result in a clear use-after-free. Solve this by using a scheme similar to regular timers; track the current running timer in hrtimer_clock_base::running.
