Subject: [PATCH 00/12] hrtimers: Switch to new hrtimer interface functions (5/5)

This is the fifth part of a 5-part series (split for convenience). All 5
parts are:

Part 1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1729864615.git.namcao@linutronix.de
Part 2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1729864823.git.namcao@linutronix.de
Part 3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1729865232.git.namcao@linutronix.de
Part 4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1729865485.git.namcao@linutronix.de
Part 5: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1729865740.git.namcao@linutronix.de

To use hrtimer, hrtimer_init() (or one of its variant) must be called, and
also the timer's callfack function must be setup separately.

That can cause misuse of hrtimer. For example, because:
  - The callback function is not setup
  - The callback function is setup while it is not safe to do so

To prevent misuse of hrtimer, this series:
  - Introduce new functions hrtimer_setup*(). These new functions are
    similar to hrtimer_init*(), except that they also sanity-check and
    initialize the callback function.
  - Introduce hrtimer_update_function() which checks that it is safe to
    change the callback function. The 'function' field of hrtimer is then
    made private.
  - Convert all users to use the new functions.
  - Some minor cleanups on the way.

Most conversion patches were created using Coccinelle with the sematic
patch below; except for tricky cases that Coccinelle cannot handle, or for
some cases where a Coccinelle's bug regarding 100 column limit is
triggered. Any patches not mentioning Coccinelle were done manually.
