Subject: [PATCH 09/15] timers: Add a warning to usleep_range_state() for
 wrong order of arguments

There is a warning in checkpatch script that triggers, when min and max
arguments of usleep_range_state() are in reverse order. This check does
only cover callsites which uses constants. Move this check into the code as
a WARN_ON_ONCE() to also cover callsites not using constants and get rid of
it in checkpatch.
