Ingo Molnar 74019224ac 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.
