timers: Mask invalid flags in do_init_timer()
do_init_timer() accepts any combination of timer flags handed in by the caller without a sanity check, but only TIMER_DEFFERABLE, TIMER_PINNED and TIMER_IRQSAFE are valid. If the supplied flags have other bits set, this could result in malfunction. If bits are set in TIMER_CPUMASK the first timer usage could deference a cpu base which is outside the range of possible CPUs. If TIMER_MIGRATION is set, then the switch_timer_base() will live lock. Prevent that with a sanity check which warns when invalid flags are supplied and masks them out.
