timers: Mask invalid flags in do_init_timer()
do_init_timer() accepts any combination of timer flags handed in by the
caller without a sanity check, but only TIMER_DEFFERABLE, TIMER_PINNED and
TIMER_IRQSAFE are valid.
If the supplied flags have other bits set, this could result in
malfunction. If bits are set in TIMER_CPUMASK the first timer usage could
deference a cpu base which is outside the range of possible CPUs. If
TIMER_MIGRATION is set, then the switch_timer_base() will live lock.
Prevent that with a sanity check which warns when invalid flags are
supplied and masks them out.
[ tglx: Made it WARN_ON_ONCE() and added context to the changelog ]
