> The firing flag of a posix CPU timer is tristate:
>
> 0: when the timer is not about to deliver a signal
>
> 1: when the timer has expired, but the signal has not been delivered yet
>
> -1: when the timer was queued for signal delivery and a rearm operation
> raced against it and supressed the signal delivery.
>
> This is a pointless exercise as this can be simply expressed with a
> boolean. Only if set, the signal is delivered. This makes delete and rearm
> consistent with the rest of the posix timers.
>
> Convert firing to bool and fixup the usage sites accordingly and add
> comments why the timer cannot be dequeued right away.
