Subject: [patch V3 09/17] timers: Rename del_timer_sync() to timer_delete_sync()

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2022 21:18:44 +0100 (CET)

The timer related functions do not have a strict timer_ prefixed namespace
which is really annoying.

Rename del_timer_sync() to timer_delete_sync() and provide del_timer_sync()
as a wrapper. Document that del_timer_sync() is not for new code.
