Subject[PATCH] timers: consider slack value in mod_timer()
There is an optimization which does not update the timer if the timer
was pending and the expiration time was unchanged.
Since commit 3bbb9ec9 ("timers: Introduce the concept of timer slack for
legacy timers") this optimization is no longer applied for timers where
the expiration time got extended due to the slack value. So here it adds
the check again after the expiration time might have been updated.
