flag parameters: NONBLOCK in timerfd_create

This patch adds support for the TFD_NONBLOCK flag to timerfd_create.  The
additional changes needed are minimal.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

      return 1;
    }

  if (fd == -1)
    {
