#1696384 — [PATCH 4.4 83/83] alarmtimer: dont rate limit one-shot timers

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Hackmann <ghackmann@google.com>

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.
