When timer_create() fails on a bootime or realtime clock, setup_timer() returns 0 as if timer has been set. Callers wait forever for the timer to expire.
This hang is seen on a system that doesn't have support for: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM ABSTIME missing CAP_WAKE_ALARM? : [UNSUPPORTED] Test hangs waiting for a timer that hasn't been set to expire. Fix setup_timer() to return 1, add handling in callers to detect the unsupported case and return 0 without waiting to not fail the test.
