[01/13] timer: Convert schedule_timeout() to use from_timer()

Commit Message

Kees Cook Oct. 4, 2017, 11:26 p.m. UTC

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new from_timer() helper and passing
the timer pointer explicitly. Since this special timer is on the stack, it
needs to have a wrapper structure to carry state once .data is eliminated.
