[rfc 1/2] timerfd: Implement show_fdinfo method

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

For checkpoint/restore of timerfd files we need to know the clock
type being used on timerfd creation. Thus implement show_fdinfo
method where we print out the type.

Also to minimize the number of calls print out the ticks as well
(thus one read of fdinfo entry would eliminate the need of doing
 read() over timerfd itself).
