timer: Document TIMER_PINNED
The flag hints the user that the pinned timers will always be run on a static CPU (because that should be what "pinned" means...) but that's not the truth, at least with the current implementation. For example, currently if a pinned timer is set up but later mod_timer() upon the pinned timer is invoked, mod_timer() will still try to queue the timer on the current processor and migrate the timer if necessary. Document it a bit with the definition of TIMER_PINNED so that all future users will use it correctly.
