workqueue: Use global variant for add_timer()

The implementation of the NOHZ pull at expiry model will change the timer
bases per CPU. Timers, that have to expire on a specific CPU, require the
TIMER_PINNED flag. If the CPU doesn't matter, the TIMER_PINNED flag must be
dropped. This is required for call sites which use the timer alternately as
pinned and not pinned timer like workqueues do.

Therefore use add_timer_global() in __queue_delayed_work() for non-bound
delayed work to make sure the TIMER_PINNED flag is dropped.
