Nothing prevents a programmer from calling clock_nanosleep() with an already elapsed wakeup time in absolute time mode or with a too small delay in relative time mode. Such timers cannot wake up in time and, thus, should be corrected when entered into the missed timers latency histogram (CONFIG_MISSED_TIMERS_HIST). This patch marks such timers and uses a corrected expiration time.
