As Helge reported for timerfd we have the same issue in posix timers. We
return remaining time larger than the programmed relative time to user space
in case of CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES=y. Use the proper function to adjust the extra
time added in hrtimer_start_range_ns().

The resolution is directly accessible now. So its simpler just to fill
in the values of the timespec and be done with it.
Text size reduction (combined with "hrtimer: Get rid of the resolution
field in hrtimer_clock_base"):
x8664 -61, i386 -221, ARM -60, power64 -48

If userland creates a timer without specifying a sigevent info, we'll
create one ourself, using a stack local variable. Particularly will we
use the timer ID as sival_int. But as sigev_value is a union containing
a pointer and an int, that assignment will only partially initialize
sigev_value on systems where the size of a pointer is bigger than the
size of an int. On such systems we'll copy the uninitialized stack bytes
from the timer_create() call to userland when the timer actually fires
and we're going to deliver the signal.
Initialize sigev_value with 0 to plug the stack info leak.
Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team.

Right now we have time related prototypes in 3 different header
files. Move it to a single timekeeping header file and move the core
internal stuff into a core private header.
