Add a selftest that tries to trigger a situation where two timer callbacks are attempting to cancel each other's timer. By running them continuously, we hit a condition where both run in parallel and cancel each other. Without the fix in the previous patch, this would cause a lockup as hrtimer_cancel on either side will wait for forward progress from the callback. Ensure that this situation leads to a EDEADLK error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
