Re: [PATCH 1/3] netfilter: ipset: use setup_timer() and mod_timer().

Use setup_timer() and instead of init_timer(), being the preferred way
of setting up a timer.

Also, quoting the mod_timer() function comment:
-> mod_timer() is a more efficient way to update the expire field of an
   active timer (if the timer is inactive it will be activated).

Use setup_timer() and mod_timer() to setup and arm a timer, making the
code compact and easier to read.

The patch and the other too in the series as well are applied in the ipset 
git repository and will be submitted for kernel inclusion. Thanks.
