    posix-timers: lock_timer: kill the bogus ->it_id check · 5a51b713
    Oleg Nesterov 提交于
    lock_timer() checks that the timer found by idr_find(timer_id) has ->it_id
    == timer_id.  This buys nothing.  This check can fail only if
    sys_timer_create() unlocked idr_lock after idr_get_new(), but didn't set
    ->it_id = new_timer_id yet.  But in that case ->it_process == NULL so
    lock_timer() can't succeed anyway.
    
    Also remove a couple of unneeded typecasts.
    
    Note that with or without this patch we have a small problem. 
    sys_timer_create() doesn't ensure that the result of setting (say)
    ->it_sigev_notify must be visible if lock_timer() succeeds.
