Periodic posix timer support broke between 2.6.9-rc1 and 2.6.9-rc1-bk17

[Christoph Lameter]

I ran some test programs and discovered that the periodic timer support
is broken. The timer is triggered once and then never again. Single shot
timers work fine. 2.6.9-rc1 is fine. The first kernel that I tested where
I noticed the breakage was 2.6.9-rc1-bk17. 2.6.9-rc2 and following all
cannot do periodic timer signals.

I looked through the changelog but I cannot see anything that would cause
the problem. Roland's patch surely could not have done this.

Will try to track this down further, time permitting...
