[LTP] [PATCH] syscalss/timer_settime03.c: Add kconfig requirement info in file header.

Test will fail when CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is not set to y, because the return value of
timer_getoverrun is equal to expiry_time_values/interval. When CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is set to y,
interval is equal to 1.
When CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is not set to y, interval is equal to HZ*1000000, and the
return value of timer_getoverrun will not be greater than or equal to {DELAYTIMER_MAX} in this
testcase. See https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-12896.
