timerfd: Handle relative timers with CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES proper

Helge reported that a relative timer can return a remaining time larger than
the programmed relative time on parisc and other architectures which have
CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES set. This happens because we add a jiffie to the resulting
expiry time to prevent short timeouts.

Use the new function hrtimer_expires_remaining_adjusted() to calculate the
remaining time. It takes that extra added time into account for relative
timers.
