timers: add mod_timer_pending()
Impact: new timer API
Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:
introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.
(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)
This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.
Also while at it:
- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
in __mod_timer().
- make the exports come straight after the function, as
most other exports in timer.c already did.
- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
users to mod_timer().
The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.
