[PATCH] Add debugging feature /proc/timer_stat

Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration.
Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured.
This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system.

Sample output:

# echo 1 > /proc/timer_stats
# cat /proc/timer_stats
