Subject: [RFC v3 net-next 03/18] posix-timers: Add CLOCKID_INVALID mask

posix-timers.h states that a clockid_t value is invalid if bits 0, 1 and
2 are all set. Add a mask that can be safely used elsewhere even if this
implicit rule's implementation is changed.

This is done in preparation for the upcoming time based transmission
patchset.
