No, this part is intentional, CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS already controls
whether itimer.c is
compiled in the first place, but this function is only needed when called from
the selinux driver.

Ah right, that was indeed my plan here when I changed the declaration
in the header, I just forgot to remove the if(). Fixed now.

Thanks for the review!
