Subject: [patch V2 20/50] posix-timers: Consolidate timer setup

hrtimer based and CPU timers have their own way to install the new interval
and to reset overrun and signal handling related data.

Create a helper function and do the same operation for all variants.

This also makes the handling of the interval consistent. It's only stored
when the timer is actually armed, i.e. timer->it_value != 0. Before that it
was stored unconditionally for posix CPU timers and conditionally for the
other posix timers.

Shouldn't we do this similar to the gettime() and set it_interval
unconditionally?

Thanks,

No. If it_value = 0 then the timer is disarmed, so it_interval is
irrelevant and just should be 0 for sanity sake.
