Another problem. __mode_timer() does:

if (timer_pending(timer)) {
detach_timer(timer, 0);

Note that 'clear_pending' parameter == 0. This means that detach_timer()
will remove the timer from list, but won't clear 'pending' status. So
this will crash after 'goto restart' (or in case of concurrent del_timer()).
