* This function is exported for use by the signal deliver code. It is
* called just prior to the info block being released and passes that
* block to us. It's function is to update the overrun entry AND to
* restart the timer. It should only be called if the timer is to be
* restarted (i.e. we have flagged this in the sys_private entry of the
* info block).
*
* To protect against the timer going away while the interrupt is queued,
* we require that the it_requeue_pending flag be set.
* This function is called from the signal delivery code if
* info->si_sys_private is not zero, which indicates that the timer has to
* be rearmed. Restart the timer and update info::si_overrun.
