timers: Introduce add_timer() variants which modify timer flags

A timer might be used as a pinned timer (using add_timer_on()) and later on
as non-pinned timer using add_timer(). When the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry
model" is in place, the TIMER_PINNED flag is required to be used whenever a
timer needs to expire on a dedicated CPU. Otherwise the flag must not 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 the
TIMER_PINNED flag. To be able to clear/ set the flag when queueing a
timer, two variants of add_timer() are introduced.

This is a preparatory step and has no functional change.
