Fix: timer_expire_entry changed in 4.19.312

        timer/trace: Improve timer tracing

        [ Upstream commit f28d3d5346e97e60c81f933ac89ccf015430e5cf ]

        Timers are added to the timer wheel off by one. This is required in
        case a timer is queued directly before incrementing jiffies to prevent
        early timer expiry.

        When reading a timer trace and relying only on the expiry time of the timer
        in the timer_start trace point and on the now in the timer_expiry_entry
        trace point, it seems that the timer fires late. With the current
        timer_expiry_entry trace point information only now=jiffies is printed but
        not the value of base->clk. This makes it impossible to draw a conclusion
        to the index of base->clk and makes it impossible to examine timer problems
        without additional trace points.

        Therefore add the base->clk value to the timer_expire_entry trace
        point, to be able to calculate the index the timer base is located at
        during collecting expired timers.
