We should have locking for requesting and releasing a timer etc,
but I don't see need for that for the timer specific functions.

Here the caller already owns the timer being started. So there
should never be multiple users for a single timer. If there are,
then the caller should take care of locking.

Here too.

And here.

Not needed here either. And that's the case for all the other functions
too.
