    timerfd: convert to ->read_iter() · d9497990
    Jens Axboe authored
    Switch timerfd to using fops->read_iter(), so it can support not just
    O_NONBLOCK but IOCB_NOWAIT as well. With the latter, users like io_uring
    interact with timerfds a lot better, as they can be driven purely
    by the poll trigger.
    
    Manually get and install the required fd, so that FMODE_NOWAIT can be
    set before the file is installed into the file table.
    
    No functional changes intended in this patch, it's purely a straight
    conversion to using the read iterator method.
