[v4a,00/38] timers: Use timer_shutdown*() before freeing timers

Back in April, I posted an RFC patch set to help mitigate a common issue
where a timer gets armed just before it is freed, and when the timer
goes off, it crashes in the timer code without any evidence of who the
culprit was. I got side tracked and never finished up on that patch set.
Since this type of crash is still our #1 crash we are seeing in the field,
it has become a priority again to finish it.

The last version of that patch set is here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221104054053.431922658@goodmis.org/

I'm calling this version 4a as it only has obvious changes were the timer that
is being shutdown is in the same function where it will be freed or released,
as this series should be "safe" for adding. I'll be calling the other patches
4b for the next merge window.

Patch 1 fixes an issue with sunrpc/xprt where it incorrectly uses
del_singleshot_timer_sync() for something that is not a oneshot timer. As this
will be converted to shutdown, this needs to be fixed first.

Patches 2-4 changes existing timer_shutdown() functions used locally in ARM and
some drivers to better namespace names.

Patch 5 implements the new timer_shutdown() and timer_shutdown_sync() functions
that disable re-arming the timer after they are called.

Patches 6-28 change all the locations where there's a kfree(), kfree_rcu(),
kmem_cache_free() and one call_rcu() call where the RCU function frees the
timer (the workqueue patch) in the same function as the del_timer{,_sync}() is
called on that timer, and there's no extra exit path between the del_timer and
freeing of the timer.

Patches 29-32 add timer_shutdown*() on on-stack timers that are about to be
released at the end of the function.

Patches 33-37 add timer_shutdown*() on module timers in the module exit code.

Patch 38 simply converts an open coded "shutdown" code into timer_shutdown(),
as a way timer_shutdown() disables the timer is by setting that timer function
to NULL.

Linus, I sorted the patches this way to let you see which you would think is
safe to go into this -rc. I honestly believe that they are all safe, but that's
just my own opinion.
