posix-cpu-timers: Prevent spuriously armed 0-value itimer
Resetting/stopping an itimer eventually leads to it being reprogrammed with an actual "0" value. As a result the itimer expires on the next tick, triggering an unexpected signal. To fix this, make sure that struct signal_struct::it[CPUCLOCK_PROF/VIRT]::expires is set to 0 when setitimer() passes a 0 it_value, indicating that the timer must stop.
