No, because there is a whole lot of preemptible area with timer->it_lock
not held between the time ctmr->firing is set to 1, and the actual handling
of that timer that holds the lock.

So no priority inheritance in that case.

There has to be a lock between the time it is set to 1 and the handling
of the timer.
