timer: Write timer->flags atomically

lock_timer_base() cannot prevent the following :

CPU1 ( in __mod_timer()
timer->flags |= TIMER_MIGRATING;
spin_unlock(&base->lock);
base = new_base;
spin_lock(&base->lock);
// The next line clears TIMER_MIGRATING
timer->flags &= ~TIMER_BASEMASK;
                                  CPU2 (in lock_timer_base())
                                  see timer base is cpu0 base
                                  spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock, *flags);
                                  if (timer->flags == tf)
                                       return base; // oops, wrong base
timer->flags |= base->cpu // too late

We must write timer->flags in one go, otherwise we can fool other cpus.
