Under LOCKDEP, the timer lock_class_key (set up in __setup_timer) needs
to be tied to the caller's context, so an inline for timer_setup()
won't work. We do, however, want to keep the inline version around for
argument type checking, though, so this provides macro wrappers in the
LOCKDEP case.
This fixes the case of different timers sharing the same LOCKDEP instance,
and producing a false positive warning:

In this report, del_timer_sync() is from:
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop()
reqsk_queue_unlink()
del_timer_sync(&req->rsk_timer)
but tcp_write_timer()'s timer is attached to icsk_retransmit_timer. Both
had the same lock_class_key, since they were using timer_setup(). Switching
to a macro allows for a separate context, avoiding the false positive.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
