Fix a logic error that occur when using the timerfd interface

This sequence of events posed a problem

timerfd_timer_open
timerfd_timer_enable_continuous
timerfd_timer_set_rate
timerfd_timer_disable_continuous

The reason was that the timing module was written under the assumption
that timerfd_timer_set_rate would not be called between enabling and
disabling continuous mode. What happened in this situation was that 
timerfd_timer_enable_continuous saved off our previously set timer (in this
situation a 0 timer, meaning it never runs out). Then timerfd_timer_disable_continuous
would restore this 0 timer, even though it logically should set the timer to be whatever
was set in timerfd_timer_set_rate.

Now the behavior in timerfd_timer_set_rate is to overwrite the saved timer that may
or may not have been set in timerfd_timer_enable_continuous. Even if
timerfd_timer_enable_continuous has not been previously called, this will not harm the
operation.

Thanks to Terry Wilson for discovering the problem and giving me a really great debug
capture that pointed out the problem clearly
