[patch 5/7] posix-timers: Rework cancel retry loops

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

As a preparatory step for adding the PREEMPT RT specific synchronization
mechanism to wait for a running timer callback, rework the timer cancel
retry loops so they call a common function. This allows trivial
substitution in one place.
