up to:  8cd9da85d2bd: posix-cpu-timers: Prevent spuriously armed 0-value itimer


A single fix for the recently introduced regression in posix CPU timers
which failed to stop the timer when requested. That caused unexpected
signals to be sent to the process/thread causing malfunction.

Thanks,

	tglx
