While in theory the timer can be triggered before expires+delta, for the cases of RT tasks they really have no business giving any lenience for extra slack time, so override any passed value by the user and always use zero for schedule_hrtimeout_range() calls. Furthermore, this is similar to what the nanosleep(2) family already does with current->timer_slack_ns.
