       io_uring_prep_timeout_update - prepare a request to update an
       existing timeout
       #include <liburing.h>
       void io_uring_prep_timeout_update(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                         struct __kernel_timespec *ts,
                                         __u64 user_data,
                                         unsigned flags);
       void io_uring_prep_timeout_remove(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                         __u64 user_data,
                                         unsigned flags);
       These functions modify or cancel an existing timeout request. The
       submission queue entry sqe is setup to arm a timeout update or
       removal specified by user_data and with modifier flags given by
       flags.  Additionally, the update request includes a ts structure,
       which contains new timeout information.
       For an update request, the flags member may contain a bitmask of
       the following values:
       IORING_TIMEOUT_ABS
              The value specified in ts is an absolute value rather than
              a relative one.
       IORING_TIMEOUT_BOOTTIME
              The boottime clock source should be used.
       IORING_TIMEOUT_REALTIME
              The realtime clock source should be used.
       IORING_TIMEOUT_ETIME_SUCCESS
              Consider an expired timeout a success in terms of the
              posted completion.  Normally a timeout that triggers would
              return in a -ETIME CQE res value.
       The timeout remove command does not currently accept any flags.
       None
       These are the errors that are reported in the CQE res field. On
       success, 0 is returned.
       -ENOENT
              The timeout identified by user_data could not be found. It
              may be invalid, or triggered before the update or removal
              request was processed.
       -EALREADY
              The timeout identified by user_data is already firing and
              cannot be canceled.
       -EINVAL
              One of the fields set in the SQE was invalid. For example,
              two clocksources were given, or the specified timeout
              seconds or nanoseconds were < 0.
       -EFAULT
              io_uring was unable to access the data specified by ts.
       As with any request that passes in data in a struct, that data
       must remain valid until the request has been successfully
       submitted. It need not remain valid until completion. Once a
       request has been submitted, the in-kernel state is stable. Very
       early kernels (5.4 and earlier) required state to be stable until
       the completion occurred. Applications can test for this behavior
       by inspecting the IORING_FEAT_SUBMIT_STABLE flag passed back from
       io_uring_queue_init_params(3).
