perf: Optimize hrtimer events

There is no need to re-initialize the hrtimer every time we start it,
so don't do that (shaves a few cycles). Also, since we know hrtimers
run at a fixed rate (nanoseconds) we can pre-compute the desired
frequency at which they tick. This avoids us having to go through the
whole adaptive frequency feedback logic (shaves another few cycles).
