timerfd gives processes a way to set wake alarms, but unlike timers made using timer_create, timerfds don't check whether the process has CAP_WAKE_ALARM before setting alarm-time timers. CAP_WAKE_ALARM is supposed to gate this behavior and so it makes sense that we should deny permission to create such timerfds if the process doesn't have this capability.
