Subject[PATCH 2/2] timer: use debugobjects to catch deletion of uninitialized timers
Date
del_timer_sync() calls debug_object_assert_init to assert that
a timer has been initialized before calling lock_timer_base().
lock_timer_base would spin forever on a NULL(uninit-ed) base. The check is
added to del_timer() to prevent silent failure, even though it would not
get stuck in an infinite loop.
