This series backports 7 upstream commits to the timer migration
subsystem for linux-6.12.y stable.

The most important patch is 7/7 which fixes imbalanced NUMA trees in
the timer migration hierarchy (Fixes: 7ee988770326). Patches 5/7 and
6/7 are its stable dependencies (Stable-dep-of: 5eb579dfd46b). The
remaining patches are cleanups and annotations that complete the
backport.

After applying this series, kernel/time/timer_migration.c and
kernel/time/timer_migration.h match linux-6.18.y exactly.

All patches are clean cherry-picks with no conflicts.
