A timer might be used as a pinned timer (using add_timer_on()) and later on as non-pinned timer using add_timer(). When the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry model" is in place, the TIMER_PINNED flag is required to be used whenever a timer needs to expire on a dedicated CPU. Otherwise the flag must not be set if expiration on a dedicated CPU is not required. add_timer_on()'s behavior will be changed during the preparation patches for the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry model" to unconditionally set the TIMER_PINNED flag. To be able to clear/ set the flag when queueing a timer, two variants of add_timer() are introduced. This is a preparatory step and has no functional change.
