Russ Cox 3c39b2ed11 runtime: avoid pp.timers.lock in updateTimerPMask
The comment in updateTimerPMask is wrong. It says:

	// Looks like there are no timers, however another P
	// may be adding one at this very moment.
	// Take the lock to synchronize.

This was my incorrect simplification of the original comment
from CL 264477 when I was renaming all the things it mentioned:

	// Looks like there are no timers, however another P may transiently
	// decrement numTimers when handling a timerModified timer in
	// checkTimers. We must take timersLock to serialize with these changes.

updateTimerPMask is being called by pidleput, so the P in question
is not in use. And other P's cannot add to this P.
As the original comment more precisely noted, the problem was
that other P's might be calling timers.check, which updates ts.len
occasionally while ts is locked, and one of those updates might
"leak" an ephemeral len==0 even when the heap is not going to
be empty when the P is finally unlocked. The lock/unlock in
updateTimerPMask synchronizes to avoid that. But this defeats
most of the purpose of using ts.len in the first place.

Instead of requiring that synchronization, we can arrange that
ts.len only ever shows a "publishable" length, meaning the len(ts.heap)
we leave behind during ts.unlock.

Having done that, updateTimerPMask can be inlined into pidleput.

The big comment on updateTimerPMask explaining how timerpMask
works is better placed as the doc comment for timerpMask itself,
so move it there.
