[PATCH v4 07/25] posix-timers:Change the implementation for timer_gettime syscall function

[Baolin Wang]

This patch splits out the guts of the timer_gettime syscall and changes the
timer_gettime syscall implementation to prepare the converting to 64bit methods
for the timer_gettime syscall function in posix-timers.c file.

Your supply of useless information like the file name of the file
which is changed by the patch seems to be endless.
