[PATCH v2 6.12.y 0/7] timers/migration: Backport fixes and cleanups from mainline

[Ionut Nechita (Wind River)]

This series backports 7 upstream commits to the timer migration
subsystem for linux-6.12.y stable.

The most important patch is 7/7 which fixes imbalanced NUMA trees in
the timer migration hierarchy (Fixes: 7ee988770326). Patches 5/7 and
6/7 are its stable dependencies. The remaining patches are cleanups
and annotations that complete the backport.

After applying this series, kernel/time/timer_migration.c and
kernel/time/timer_migration.h match mainline exactly for these
functions.

All patches are clean cherry-picks with no conflicts.

  - Added upstream commit IDs to each patch (Greg KH)
