timers/core: Convert to hotplug state machine

When tearing down, call timers_dead_cpu() before notify_dead().
There is a hidden dependency between:

 - timers
 - block multiqueue
 - rcutree

If timers_dead_cpu() comes later than blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify()
that latter function causes a RCU stall.
