[patch V2 4/8] posix-timers: Move POSIX timer group exit related code out of do_exit()
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sat Sep 05 2026 - 15:01:01 EST
Move the POSIX timer group exit handling into the posix timer code and
provide a proper stub when POSIX timers are disabled in Kconfig.
No functional change.
