[PATCH] posix-timers: fix oops in clock_nanosleep() with CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto
Date: Sun Aug 02 2009 - 22:50:32 EST


From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Prevent calling do_nanosleep() with clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, it may
cause oops, such as NULL pointer dereference.
