Subject: [PATCH] alarmtimer: don't rate limit one-shot timers
References: bnc#1060662
Patch-mainline: v4.12.4
Git-commit: ccb1fe49efed135f58d9cd85600694a75e97d14f

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.

This patch is specific to 4.11.y and 4.12.y.  Older -stable trees have a
slightly different patch, and 4.13-rc2 isn't impacted due to a later
refactoring.
