Yes EnterUserExclusive is used alot elsewhere in win32k and we dont really need 
to use it with timers, so its inefficient.
I'm going to change this so that timers use thier own lock.

Subject: Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [mjmartin] 47393: [win32k] - The timer is    
created usingUserCreateObject. It may be a good idea to save    the handle in 
the timer object so that it can be deleted        later. - Dereference the 
object before attempting to delete it.

I've spoken to Mike about this, apparently the lock is held much higher in the 
call chain (EnterUserExclusive), which isn't obvious in the patch.
Sounds like a pretty inefficient lock though.
