Timers are more often re-armed then not. I had to look for the
locations where del_timer*() was called just before freeing, and other
locations where they are freed later.

I didn't rename del_timer_sync() to timer_shutdown_sync(), this version
renamed the new "del_timer_shutdown()" to "timer_shutdown_sync()".

Maybe I'm just confused at what you are asking.
