tst_timer.h has been included in clock_adjtime.h since 5085e14c7e

Not sure why it's only for old CentOS 6. Usually there is some bug in the
headers (conflicting headers which has been fixed in newer distros) or something
simply missing.
And we should really drop CentOS 6 from travis CI, we agreed to discontinue gcc
4 support (10 years old). But I wanted to drop it after the release.

BTW typedef long long __kernel_long_t; is in <asm/posix_types_x32.h>
which you include via <asm/posix_types.h>. But redefining typedef is not a
problem.

Kind regards,
Petr
