[PATCH] alarmtimer: don't rate limit one-shot timers

[Greg Hackmann <ghackmann@google.com>]

Commit ff86bf0c65f1 ("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") sets a
minimum bound on the alarm timer interval.  This minimum bound shouldn't
be applied if the interval is 0.  Otherwise, one-shot timers will be
converted into periodic ones.

This patch is against 4.9.39, and is only needed in -stable trees.
4.13-rc2 isn't impacted due to a later refactoring.
