```
std.posix: remove unchecked std.os.linux usage

Using std.os.linux directly in e.g. std.posix.timerfd_create() causes
the function to compile but silently fail at runtime when targeting any
OS other than Linux.

To catch errors like this at compile time, std.os.linux must only be
directly accessed within std.posix where there has been a comptime check
that the target os is in fact Linux.
