4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <[email protected]> commit 2c13ce8f6b2f6fd9ba2f9261b1939fc0f62d1307 upstream. Variable "now" seems to be genuinely used unintialized if branch if (CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD(timer->it_clock)) { is not taken and branch if (unlikely(sighand == NULL)) { is taken. In this case the process has been reaped and the timer is marked as disarmed anyway. So none of the postprocessing of the sample is required. Return right away.
