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.

 use timer_delete_sync() (``include/linux/timer.h``) to handle this case.
