With 6caa5812e2 ("KVM: arm64: Use generic KVM xfer to guest work
function") all arm64 exit paths are properly equipped to handle the
POSIX timers' task work.
Deferring timer callbacks to thread context, not only limits the amount
of time spent in hard interrupt context, but is a safer
implementation[1], and will allow PREEMPT_RT setups to use KVM[2].
So let's enable POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK on arm64.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
