Subject: [PATCH v8 11/25] timers: Introduce add_timer() variants which modify timer flags
Date:   Wed,  4 Oct 2023 14:34:40 +0200

Timer might be used as pinned timer (using add_timer_on()) and later on as
non pinned timers using add_timer(). When the NOHZ timer pull at expiry
model is in place, TIMER_PINNED flag is required to be used whenever a
timer needs to expire on a dedicated CPU. Flag must no be set, if
expiration on a dedicated CPU is not required.

add_timer_on()'s behavior will be changed during the preparation patches
for the NOHZ timer pull at expiry model to unconditionally set TIMER_PINNED
flag. To be able to reset/set the flag when queueing a timer, two variants
of add_timer() are introduced.

This is a preparatory patch and has no functional change.
