[PATCH 5/6] rust: hrtimer: document deadlock when starting a timer in its handler

The state machine documentation states that for pointer types that
implement `Clone`, the `start` operation may be issued while the timer
is in the **running** state, and that it is then equivalent to the
`restart` operation. That only holds when the operation is issued from
outside the timer handler.

The `start` operation returns a `HrTimerHandle`, and dropping the
handle cancels the timer with `hrtimer_cancel()`, which blocks until a
running handler has returned. When `start` is issued from within the
handler, the handle is also dropped within the handler, so the cancel
waits for the very handler that issues it, and the handler deadlocks.

Note this in the state machine documentation.
