[ Upstream commit 168f6b6ffbeec0b9333f3582e4cf637300858db5 ]
del_timer_sync() is assumed to be pointless on uniprocessor systems and can be mapped to del_timer() because in theory del_timer() can never be invoked while the timer callback function is executed.
This is not entirely true because del_timer() can be invoked from interrupt context and therefore hit in the middle of a running timer callback.
Contrary to that del_timer_sync() is not allowed to be invoked from interrupt context unless the affected timer is marked with TIMER_IRQSAFE. del_timer_sync() has proper checks in place to detect such a situation.
Give up on the UP optimization and make del_timer_sync() unconditionally available.
