Adhemerval Zanella 7a887dd537 posix: Fix -Warray-bounds instances building timer_create [BZ #26687]
GCC 11 -Warray-bounds triggers invalid warnings when building
Linux timer_create.c:

../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/timer_create.c: In function '__timer_create_new':

      |                                                                 ~~~~~~~~~

The struct allocated for !SIGEV_THREAD timers only requires two 'int'
fields (sigev_notify and ktimerid) and the offsetof trick tries minimize
the memory usage by only allocation the required size.  However,
although the resulting size is suffice for !SIGEV_THREAD time, accessing
the partially allocated object is error-prone and UB.

This patch fixes both issues by embedding the information whether
the timer if a SIGEV_THREAD in the returned 'timer_t'.  For
!SIGEV_THREAD, the resulting 'timer_t' is the returned kernel timer
identifer (kernel_timer_t), while for SIGEV_THREAD it uses the fact
malloc returns at least _Alignof (max_align_t) pointers plus that
valid kernel_timer_t are always positive to set MSB bit of the returned
'timer_t' to indicate the timer handles a SIGEV_THREAD.

It allows to remove the memory allocation for !SIGEV_THREAD and also
remove the 'sigev_notify' field from 'struct timer'.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
