Forwarding timer base is done when the next expiry value is calculated and
when a new timer is enqueued. When the next expiry value is calculated the
jiffies value is already available and does not need to be reread a second
time.
Splitting out the forward timer base functionality to make it executable
via both contextes - those where jiffies are already known and those, where
jiffies need to be read.
No functional change.
