Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the tip tree

Hi all,

After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig)
failed like this:

and another similar.

Caused by commit

  cacd2b3fb981 ("chelsio: Convert timers to use timer_setup()")

from te net-next tree interacting with commit

  52f737c2da40 ("timer: Provide wrappers safe for use with LOCKDEP")

from the tip tree.

Looks like the LOCKDEP sage version of timer_setup() needs to put
parentheses around the usages of its parameters?
