Steven Rostedt (Google) a31323bef2 timers: Update the documentation to reflect on the new timer_shutdown() API
In order to make sure that a timer is not re-armed after it is stopped
before freeing, a new shutdown state is added to the timer code. The API
timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown() must be called before the
object that holds the timer can be freed.

Update the documentation to reflect this new workflow.

[ tglx: Updated to the new semantics and updated the zh_CN version ]
