[patch 21/48] hrtimer: Add debug object init assertion
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 11:39:02 EST
The debug object coverage in hrtimer_start_range_ns() happens too late to
do anything useful. Implement the init assert assertion part and invoke
that early in hrtimer_start_range_ns().
