Prepare the timer api for the arrival of dynamic creation and
destruction events from the core. It pretended to do this previously
but the core to date only used it in a static init-time only fashion.
This is an interim fix until a cleaner event queue can be developed.
1/ make all locking external to the api (add WARN_ONCE to verify)
2/ add a timer_destroy interface (to be used by the core)
3/ use del_timer_sync() prior to deallocating timer data
4/ delete the "timer_list" indirection, we only have timers allocated
for the isci_host
5/ fix detection of timer list allocation errors

The lldd actively disallows requests in the "starting" state. Retrying
or holding off commands in this state is sub-optimal:
1/ it adds another state check to the fast path
2/ retrying can cause libsas to give up
However, isci's ->lldd_dev_found() routine already waits for controller
start to complete before allowing further progress. Checking the
"starting" state in isci_task_execute_task and the isr is redundant and
misleading. Clean this up and introduce a controller-wide event queue
to start reeling in "completion" proliferation in the driver.
The "stopping" state cleanups are in a similar vein, rely on the the isr
and other paths being precluded from occurring rather than implementing
state checking logic.

Support for the up to 2x4-port 6Gb/s SAS controllers embedded in the
chipset.
This is a snapshot of the first publicly available version of the driver,
commit 4c1db2d0 in the 'historical' branch.
