Problem:
The "lapb_t1timer_running" function in "lapb_timer.c" is used in only
one place: in the "lapb_kick" function in "lapb_out.c". "lapb_kick" calls
"lapb_t1timer_running" to check if the timer is already pending, and if
it is not, schedule it to run.
However, if the timer has already fired and is running, and is waiting to
get the "lapb->lock" lock, "lapb_t1timer_running" will not detect this,
and "lapb_kick" will then schedule a new timer. The old timer will then
abort when it sees a new timer pending.
I think this is not right. The purpose of "lapb_kick" should be ensuring
that the actual work of the timer function is scheduled to be done.
If the timer function is already running but waiting for the lock,
"lapb_kick" should not abort and reschedule it.
Changes made:
I added a new field "t1timer_running" in "struct lapb_cb" for
"lapb_t1timer_running" to use. "t1timer_running" will accurately reflect
whether the actual work of the timer is pending. If the timer has fired
but is still waiting for the lock, "t1timer_running" will still correctly
reflect whether the actual work is waiting to be done.
The old "t1timer_stop" field, whose only responsibility is to ask a timer
(that is already running but waiting for the lock) to abort, is no longer
needed, because the new "t1timer_running" field can fully take over its
responsibility. Therefore "t1timer_stop" is deleted.
"t1timer_running" is not simply a negation of the old "t1timer_stop".
At the end of the timer function, if it does not reschedule itself,
"t1timer_running" is set to false to indicate that the timer is stopped.
For consistency of the code, I also added "t2timer_running" and deleted
"t2timer_stop".
