[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.14 11/47] posix-cpu-timers: Force next expiration recalc after itimer reset

[Sasha Levin]

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 406dd42bd1ba0c01babf9cde169bb319e52f6147 ]

When an itimer deactivates a previously armed expiration, it simply doesn't
do anything. As a result the process wide cputime counter keeps running and
the tick dependency stays set until it reaches the old ghost expiration
value.

This can be reproduced with the following snippet:

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		struct itimerval n = {};

		n.it_value.tv_sec = 100;
		setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL);
		n.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
		setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL);
	}

Fix this with resetting the relevant base expiration. This is similar to
disarming a timer.
