Peter Xu 28ef2db886 timer: Document TIMER_PINNED
The flag hints the user that the pinned timers will always be run on a
static CPU (because that should be what "pinned" means...) but that's
not the truth, at least with the current implementation.

For example, currently if a pinned timer is set up but later mod_timer()
upon the pinned timer is invoked, mod_timer() will still try to queue the
timer on the current processor and migrate the timer if necessary.

Document it a bit with the definition of TIMER_PINNED so that all future
users will use it correctly.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
