Subject: [patch V5 10/26] posix-cpu-timers: Use dedicated flag for CPU timer
 nanosleep

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

POSIX CPU timer nanosleep creates a k_itimer on stack and uses the sigq
pointer to detect the nanosleep case in the expiry function.

Prepare for embedding sigqueue into struct k_itimer by using a dedicated
flag for nanosleep.
