posix-cpu-timers: Provide array based access to expiry cache
Using struct task_cputime for the expiry cache is a pretty odd choice and comes with magic defines to rename the fields for usage in the expiry cache. struct task_cputime is basically a u64 array with 3 members, but it has distinct members. The expiry cache content is different than the content of task_cputime because expiry[PROF] = task_cputime.stime + task_cputime.utime expiry[VIRT] = task_cputime.utime expiry[SCHED] = task_cputime.sum_exec_runtime So there is no direct mapping between task_cputime and the expiry cache and the #define based remapping is just a horrible hack. Having the expiry cache array based allows further simplification of the expiry code. To avoid an all in one cleanup which is hard to review add a temporary anonymous union into struct task_cputime which allows array based access to it. That requires to reorder the members. Add a build time sanity check to validate that the members are at the same place. The union and the build time checks will be removed after conversion.
