The fact is there is someone want to use del_timer_sync()
in softirq context.
My patch is inspired by this http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/291
though in the end that issue is resolved by not using
del_timer_sync() in softirq.

I'm not sure about this.
IMHO, we don't need to make more restriction if we don't
have to.
Thanks,
Yong
