syscall sys_timer_settime()) to take an absolute value for realtime
timers. This avoids a pair of gratiuitous conversions with the
possibility that the timer's intermediate value would be 0.0, which
would signal timer_settime() to cancel the timer.
Adjust callers of timer_settime() to compensate; catch the case where
sys_timer_settime() with an absolute time value of now and a virtual
timer would also be subtracted down to a timer-cancelling 0.0.
This should fix the bug seen in libpthread's nanosleep() where certain
applications, such as xmms, would wedge with unexpired userlevel
alarms.
