Currently kernel generates IDs for posix timers in a global manner -- there's a kernel-wide IDR tree from which IDs are created. This makes it impossible to recreate a timer with a desired ID (in particular this is done by the CRIU checkpoint-restore project) -- since these IDs are global it may happen, that at the time we recreate a timer, the ID we want for it is already busy by some other timer. In order to address this, replace the IDR tree with a global hash table for timers and makes timer IDs unique per signal_struct (to which timers are linked anyway). With this, two timers belonging to different processes may have equal IDs and we can recreate either of them with the ID we want.
