[patch V2 01/38] posix-cpu-timers: Provide task validation functions

[Thomas Gleixner]

The code contains three slightly different copies of validating whether a
given clock resolves to a valid task and whether the current caller has
permissions to access it.

Create central functions. Replace check_clock() as a first step and rename
it to something sensible.
