Subject: [PATCH v2) posix-timers: make it configurable

Many embedded systems typically don't need them.  This removes about
22KB from the kernel binary size on ARM when configured out.

Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to
use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were
disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create,
timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete,
clock_adjtime.

The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls
are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only.

Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@...aro.org>

Changes from RFC/v1:

- Stubbed-out functions moved to static inlines.
- The timer signal handling code is now removed.
- The list of removed syscalls is explicitly documented.
- The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep 
  syscalls are minimally preserved as this required very little code.

I'm now able to boot a copy of Fedora 21 with this patch and 
CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS=n with no apparent issues.
