Message:

Make timeout→cpu immutable

We ensure timeout→cpu is only changed in timeout_register(),
which by its nature is externally synchronized with timeout_unregister(),
and internally synchronized with clock(). Thus in both those contexts,
timeout→cpu is always a valid constant pointing to the CPU of last
call to timeout_register().

Doing so removes the need for synchronization using timeout→lock.
Instead, timeout→link is synchronized by timeout→cpu→timeoutlock,
and all other fields of timeout_t are also immutable outside
timeout_register(), which means they are safely synchronized by
a combination of timeout→cpu→timoutlock and external sychronization
of timeout_register/unregister.
