timers: Always queue timers on the local CPU

The timer pull model is in place so we can remove the heuristics which try
to guess the best target CPU at enqueue/modification time.

All non pinned timers are queued on the local CPU in the separate storage
and eventually pulled at expiry time to a remote CPU.
