alarmtimers: Change alarmtimer functions to return alarmtimer_restart values
In order to properly fix the denial of service issue with high freq periodic alarm timers, we need to push the re-arming logic into the alarm timer handler, much as the hrtimer code does. This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the alarmtimer handler declarations to use it as a return value. Further, to ease following changes, it extends the alarmtimer handler functions to also take the time at expiration. No logic is yet modified.
