The commit 177ef2a6315e ("sched/deadline: Fix a precision problem in the microseconds range") fixes the shorter slices issue for dl class. Both the UP and SMP sides of hrtick_start() will handle the shorter slices issue before the commit, however, the UP side of hrtick_start() doesn't handle shorter slides issue any more after the commit applied. This patch fix it by making sure the scheduling slice won't be smaller than 10us in the UP side of hrtick_start() for fair and dl schedule class.
