Currently processes waiting with poll on cancelable timerfd timers are
not woken up when the timers are canceled. When the system time is set
the clock_was_set() function calls timerfd_clock_was_set() to cancel
and wake up processes waiting on potential cancelable timerfd
timers. However the wake up currently has no effect because in the
case of timerfd_read it is dependent on ctx->ticks not being
0. timerfd_poll also requires ctx->ticks being non zero. As a
consequence processes waiting on cancelable timers only get woken up
when the timers expire. This patch fixes this by incrementing
ctx->ticks before calling wake_up.
