drm/nouveau/tmr: fully separate alarm execution/pending lists
commit b4e382ca upstream. Reusing the list_head for both is a bad idea. Callback execution is done with the lock dropped so that alarms can be rescheduled from the callback, which means that with some unfortunate timing, lists can get corrupted. The execution list should not require its own locking, the single function that uses it can only be called from a single context.
