Subject: [PATCH] posix-timers: Shorten posix_cpu_timers/<CPU> kernel thread names

commit 80e7149966ee8fb4a12fa9eb7a4c7dc99d38d979 in tip.

Shorten the softirq kernel thread names because they always overflow the
limited comm length, appearing as "posix_cpu_timer" CPU# times.

Done on 2.6.24.7, but probably applicable to later kernels.
