this may make sense from an efficiency point of view, but it is a
deviation from the API we use in libosmocore.  Which brings me to the
next issue:  The osmo_timer_* rename has not yet been applied to the
timer implementation.

If other developers agree to introduce a 'rearm_timer', then we should
also add it to osmo_timer_rearm() to libosmocore for consistency.

Also, it might be a good idea to verify that it actually is in the list,
at least durinig DEBUG / development builds.

Regards,
	Harald
