Back on June 22, 2005, it was decided to use del_singleshot_timer_sync()
because it wouldn't loop like del_timer_sync(), and since the timer that
was being removed was not about to be rearmed, it was considered an
efficiency to use del_singleshot_timer_sync() over del_timer_sync().
But on June 23, 2005, commit 55c888d6d09a0 ("timers fixes/improvements")
happened, which converted del_singleshot_timer_sync() into:
#define del_singleshot_timer_sync(t) del_timer_sync(t)
Making the two equivalent.
Now work is being done to add a "shutdown" state to timers where a timer
must be in that state in order to be freed to prevent use-after-free bugs
caused by timers being re-armed just before being freed, the
del_singleshot_timer_sync() is now being converted into something that
will set the timer to the shutdown state. This means that once
del_singleshot_timer_sync() is called, the timer can no longer be
re-armed.
As the timer here will be re-armed, it can not use del_singleshot_timer_sync().
But as the reason it was used in the first place no longer exists, just
use del_timer_sync().
