timers: Rename del_timer() to timer_delete()
[ Upstream commit bb663f0f3c396c6d05f6c5eeeea96ced20ff112e ]
The timer related functions do not have a strict timer_ prefixed namespace
which is really annoying.
Rename del_timer() to timer_delete() and provide del_timer()
as a wrapper. Document that del_timer() is not for new code.
