(resend due to broken emails)

This is a follow up to version 1, which can be found here:

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1729864615.git.namcao@linutronix.de/

hrtimers must be initialized with a hrtimer_init() variant, and after that
the timer's callback function must be setup separately.

This separate initialization is error prone and awkward to use. The
separate initialization is also problematic for a clean Rust abstraction.

A combined setup function like timer_setup() is less error prone and
simpler to use.

This first part of the conversion provides:

  - a set of hrtimer_setup*() variants, which take the function pointer as
    argument.

  - hrtimer_update_function() which allows to change the callback function
    after initialization with the proper safety checks in place.

  - conversion of the hrtimer_init*_on_stack() variants

  - some minor cleanups

The remaining users will be converted in follow up series.

Most conversions were done with Coccinelle. See sematic patch below.

Changes versus v1:
  - Open code kvm_xen_init_vcpu() (Sean)
  - Drop the can/bcm patch (Oliver)
  - Folded the removal of hrtimer_init_sleeper() (tglx)
  - Update change logs and cover letter

The series applies on top of:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers/core

and is also available from git:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git hrtimer-setup-part1-v2

Best regards,

Nam
