Subject[patch 4/4] timerfd.2: Add ioctl method description
ioctl(2)
The following commands are supported: TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS to adjust
the number of the timer expirations that have occurred.
It take a pointer to nonzero 8-byte integer (uint64_t*) containing
new number of expirations. Once the number is set any waiter on
the timer is woken up. The only purpose of this command is to restore
the expirations in a sake of checkpoint/restore procedure.
It requires the kernel to be built with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
support.

When the file descriptor is no longer required it should be closed.
When all file descriptors associated with the same timer object
