[LTP] [RFC] [PATCH] tst_timer: Add tst_timer_expired_ms()

Recently we were in the need of easy way to run a testcase for a given
time interval. We nearly had everything in the timer library already but
the problem was that the sampling function i.e. tst_timer_stop() and
conversion functions e.g. tst_timer_elapsed_ms() were separated.

This commit adds a tst_timer_expired_ms() function that combines the
sampling and comparsion, the intended usage is:

static void setup(void)
{
	...
	tst_timer_check(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
	...
}

static void run(void)
{
	...

	tst_timer_start(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);

	...

	while (!tst_timer_expired_ms(5000)) {
		...
	}

	...
}

 IMPORTANT: The timer functions use 'clock_gettime()' internally which needs to
