Subject: [PATCH] cpu-timers: Change SIGEV_NONE timer implementation

When user sets up a timer without associated signal and process does
not use any other cpu timers and does not exit, tsk->signal->cputimer
is enabled and running forever.

Avoid running the timer for no reason.

I used below program to check patch does not break current user space
visible behavior.

 #include <sys/time.h>
 #include <signal.h>
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <time.h>
 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <assert.h>

 void consume_cpu(void)
 {
	int i = 0;
	int count = 0;

	for(i=0; i<100000000; i++)
		count++;
 }

 int main(void)
 {
	int i;
	struct sigaction act;
	struct sigevent evt = { };
	timer_t tid;
	struct itimerspec spec = { };

	evt.sigev_notify = SIGEV_NONE;
	assert(timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &evt,  &tid) == 0);

	spec.it_value.tv_sec = 10;
	assert(timer_settime(tid, 0, &spec,  NULL) == 0);

	for (i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
		consume_cpu();
		memset(&spec, 0, sizeof(spec));
		assert(timer_gettime(tid, &spec) == 0);
		printf("%lu.%09lu\n",
			(unsigned long) spec.it_value.tv_sec,
			(unsigned long) spec.it_value.tv_nsec);
	}

	assert(timer_delete(tid) == 0);
	return 0;
 }
