Add a flag to indicate deferrable timers in /proc/timer_stats

Add a flag in /proc/timer_stats to indicate deferrable timers.  This will
let developers/users to differentiate between types of tiemrs in
/proc/timer_stats.

Deferrable timer and normal timer will appear in /proc/timer_stats as below.
  10D,     1 swapper          queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn)
   10,     1 swapper          queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn)
