Subject: [PATCH 11/21] hrtimers: Introduce hrtimer_update_function()

Some users of hrtimer need to change the callback function after the
initial setup, and they touch the 'function' field of struct hrtimer
directly. However, directly changing the 'function' field is not safe under
all circumstances. It's only safe when the hrtimer is not enqueued.

Introduce hrtimer_update_function() helper function, which also performs
runtime checks whether it is safe (i.e. the timer is not enqueued).

The field 'function' of struct hrtimer will be changed to private in the
future.
