$ git grep del_timer net/netfilter/
net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lblc.c: *     Julian Anastasov        :    replaced del_timer call with del_timer_sync
net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lblc.c: *                                   handler and del_timer thread in SMP

Wider search, in the net tree:

net/ipv4/igmp.c: *                                      which caused a "del_timer() called
net/ipv4/igmp.c: *              Christian Daudt :       removed del_timer from

Maybe these are only for historical purpose, so leaving them untouched
is fine.
