Thomas Gleixner 11b8462f7e 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.
