Don't convert it here, pass ERESTARTSYS to the system call handler which
decides how to handle it.

Why the semantic change? ETIME for timer timed out still seems appropriate.

I think this whole interface is a stop-gap solution for pollable sync
objects without a clear use case. Do we have a spec for a feature
wishing to build upon this interface?
