del_timer_sync() is often called before the object that owns the timer is
freed. But sometimes there's a race that enables the timer again before it is
freed and causes a use after free when that timer triggers. This patch set
adds a new "shutdown" timer state, which is set on the new timer_shutdown()
API. Once a timer is in this state, it can not be re-armed and if it is, it
will warn.

The first three patches change existing timer_shutdown() functions used
locally in ARM and some drivers to better namespace names.

The fourth patch implements the new API.

The fifth patch is now a treewide patch that uses a coccinelle script to
convert the trivial locations where a del_timer*() is called on a timer of an
object that is freed immediately afterward (or at least in the same function).

Changes since v5a: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221106054535.709068702@xxxxxxxxxxx/

 - Updated the script to make ptr and slab into expressions instead of
   using identifiers (Julia Lawall and Linus Torvalds)

Steven Rostedt (Google) (5):
      ARM: spear: Do not use timer namespace for timer_shutdown() function
      clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Do not use timer namespace for 
timer_shutdown() function
      clocksource/drivers/sp804: Do not use timer namespace for 
timer_shutdown() function
      timers: Add timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown() to be called 
before freeing timers
      treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()
