commit 511885d7061eda3eb1faf3f57dcc936ff75863f1 upstream.
Simplify the timerqueue code by using cached rbtrees and rely on the tree
leftmost node semantics to get the timer with earliest expiration time.
This is a drop in conversion, and therefore semantics remain untouched.
The runtime overhead of cached rbtrees is be pretty much the same as the
current head->next method, noting that when removing the leftmost node,
a common operation for the timerqueue, the rb_next(leftmost) is O(1) as
well, so the next timer will either be the right node or its parent.
Therefore no extra pointer chasing. Finally, the size of the struct
timerqueue_head remains the same.
Passes several hours of rcutorture.

[bwh: While this was supposed to be just refactoring, it also fixed a
security flaw (CVE-2021-20317). Backported to 4.9:
- Deleted code in timerqueue_del() is different before commit d852d39432f5
"timerqueue: Use rb_entry_safe() instead of open-coding it"
- Adjust context]
