Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration.
Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured.
This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system.

Sample output:

# echo 1 > /proc/timer_stats
# cat /proc/timer_stats

+timer_stats - timer usage statistics
+------------------------------------
+
+timer_stats is a debugging facility to make the timer (ab)usage in a Linux
+system visible to kernel and userspace developers. It is not intended for
+production usage as it adds significant overhead to the (hr)timer code and the
+(hr)timer data structures.
+
+timer_stats should be used by kernel and userspace developers to verify that
+their code does not make unduly use of timers. This helps to avoid unnecessary
+wakeups, which should be avoided to optimize power consumption.
+
+It can be enabled by CONFIG_TIMER_STATS in the "Kernel hacking" configuration
+section.
+
+timer_stats collects information about the timer events which are fired in a
+Linux system over a sample period:
+
+- the pid of the task(process) which initialized the timer
+- the name of the process which initialized the timer
+- the function where the timer was intialized
+- the callback function which is associated to the timer
+- the number of events (callbacks)
+
+timer_stats adds an entry to /proc: /proc/timer_stats
+
+This entry is used to control the statistics functionality and to read out the
+sampled information.
+
+The timer_stats functionality is inactive on bootup.
+
+To activate a sample period issue:
+# echo 1 >/proc/timer_stats
+
+To stop a sample period issue:
+# echo 0 >/proc/timer_stats
+
+The statistics can be retrieved by:
+# cat /proc/timer_stats
+
+The readout of /proc/timer_stats automatically disables sampling. The sampled
+information is kept until a new sample period is started. This allows multiple
+readouts.
+
+Sample output of /proc/timer_stats:
+
+Timerstats sample period: 3.888770 s

+   1,    23 events/1         do_cache_clean (delayed_work_timer_fn)
+90 total events, 30.0 events/sec
+
+The first column is the number of events, the second column the pid, the third
+column is the name of the process. The forth column shows the function which
+initialized the timer and in parantheses the callback function which was
+executed on expiry.
