I changed schedule_timeout() to call the new del_timer_sync instead of
currently del_singleshot_timer_sync in attempt to stress these set of
patches a bit more and I just observed a kernel hang.

The symptom starts with lost network connectivity.  It looks like the
entire ethernet connections were gone, followed by blank screen on the
console.  I'm not sure whether it is a hard or soft hang, but system
is inaccessible (blank screen and no network connection). I'm forced
to do a reboot when that happens.
