Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 17/30] timer: Use hlist_unhashed_lockless() in timer_pending()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

The timer_pending() function is mostly used in lockless contexts, so
Without proper annotations, KCSAN might detect a data-race [1].

Using hlist_unhashed_lockless() instead of hand-coding it seems
appropriate (as suggested by Paul E. McKenney).
