This series fixes a schedule lifetime race in `act_gate` between the
control-plane replace path and the running hrtimer callback (gate_timer_func).

Changes since v3:
- Drop and fold the previous patches into a single patch
- Move hrtimer cancellation before rcu_replace_pointer() during cleanup
- Drop the NULL guard
- Treat an explicit empty entry list on REPLACE the same as an omitted entry
  list (preserve the existing schedule). CREATE rejects empty or missing
  entry lists.
- Split the timer cancel decision from timer setup, cancel outside tcf_lock,
  and use hrtimer_active() in gate_start_timer()
