[PATCH] Remove reference to timer_exit() from kernel-locking.tmpl, fix typo.

From:  Tommi Virtanen <tv@debian.org>

  	timer_exit() isn't a public function, and doesn't even exist in 2.5.
  	2.4 calls it internally after timers. It seems timer users need not
  	do anything special.

Another common problem is deleting timers which restart
themselves (by calling <function>add_timer()</function> at the end
of their timer function). Because this is a fairly common case
which is prone to races, you can put a call to
<function>timer_exit()</function> at the very end of your timer function,
and user <function>del_timer_sync()</function>
which is prone to races, you should use <function>del_timer_sync()</function>
(<filename class=headerfile>include/linux/timer.h</filename>)
to handle this case. It returns the number of times the timer
had to be deleted before we finally stopped it from adding itself back
