  There is a possibility of deadlock in this API,
as same spinlock is tried to be acquired in nested manner.

In timer_del function, if the previous owner and current owner lcore
are different, the lock is tried to be acquired even though the same
lock is already acquired by the caller of timer_del function.

This patch removes the acquisition of nested locking.

Fixes: 821c51267bcd63a ("timer: add function to stop all timers in a list")
