Subject: [PATCH 03/21] drm/i915/request: Remove unnecessary abuse of hrtimer::function

When a request is created, the hrtimer is not initialized and only its
'function' field is set to NULL. The hrtimer is only initialized when the
request is enqueued. The point of setting 'function' to NULL is that, it
can be used to check whether hrtimer_try_to_cancel() should be called while
retiring the request.

This "trick" is unnecessary, because hrtimer_try_to_cancel() already does
its own check whether the timer is armed. If the timer is not armed,
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns 0.

Remove the abuse of hrtimer::function and fully initialize the timer when
the request is created. Then, hrtimer_try_to_cancel() can be called without
touching the 'function' field.

Because hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns 0 if the timer is not armed, the
logic to check whether to call i915_request_put() remains equivalent.
