kernel/timer.c: use debugobjects to catch deletion of uninitialized timers

del_timer_sync() calls debug_object_assert_init() to assert that a timer
has been initialized before calling lock_timer_base().  lock_timer_base()
would spin forever on a NULL(uninit-ed) base.  The check is added to
del_timer() to prevent silent failure, even though it would not get stuck
in an infinite loop.
