5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de
[ Upstream commit 9b13df3fb64ee95e2397585404e442afee2c7d4f ]
The timer related functions do not have a strict timer_ prefixed namespace which is really annoying.
Rename del_timer_sync() to timer_delete_sync() and provide del_timer_sync() as a wrapper. Document that del_timer_sync() is not for new code.
