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 against 4.9.39, and is only needed in -stable trees.
4.13-rc2 isn't impacted due to a later refactoring.
