Sebastian Andrzej Siewior ad01423aed kthread: Do not use TIMER_IRQSAFE
The TIMER_IRQSAFE usage was introduced in commit 22597dc3d9 ("kthread:
initial support for delayed kthread work") which modelled the delayed
kthread code after workqueue's code. The workqueue code requires the flag
TIMER_IRQSAFE for synchronisation purpose. This is not true for kthread's
delay timer since all operations occur under a lock.

Remove TIMER_IRQSAFE from the timer initialisation and use timer_setup()
for initialisation purpose which is the official function.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
