[hrtimer] Remove listhead from hrtimer struct

The list_head in the hrtimer structure was introduced for easy access
to the first timer with the further extensions of real high resolution
timers in mind, but it turned out in the course of development that
it is not necessary for the standard use case. Remove the list head
and access the first expiry timer by a datafield in the timer base.
