[patch v6 02/20] posix-timers: Make signal overrun accounting sensible

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

The handling of the timer overrun in the signal code is inconsistent as it
takes previous overruns into account. This is just wrong as after the
reprogramming of a timer the overrun count starts over from a clean state,
i.e. 0.

Don't touch info::si_overrun in send_sigqueue() and only store the overrun
value at signal delivery time, which is computed from the timer itself
relative to the expiry time.

V6: Fold the timer_overrun_to_int() cleanup from Frederic and remove all
    overrun fiddling from the signal path.
