4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Greg Hackmann <[email protected]> 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.
