timer_shutdown_sync() function is useful for final teardown of an
infrastructure where the timer is subject to a circular dependency
problem.

A common pattern for this is a timer and a workqueue where the timer can
schedule work and work can arm the timer. On shutdown the workqueue must
be destroyed and the timer must be prevented from rearming. Unless the
code has conditionals like 'if (mything->in_shutdown)' to prevent that
there is no way to get this correct with timer_delete_sync().

timer_shutdown_sync() is solving the problem. The correct ordering of
calls in this case is:

 timer_shutdown_sync(&mything->timer);
 workqueue_destroy(&mything->workqueue);

After this 'mything' can be safely freed.
