Subject: [PATCH 1/2] timers: Add sparse annotation for timer_sync_wait_running().

timer_sync_wait_running() first releases two locks and then acquires
them again. This is unexpected and sparse complains about it.

Add sparse annotation for timer_sync_wait_running() to note that the
locking is expected.
