drivers/timer: Remove the TIOC_SETHANDLER IOCTL call. This calls directly from the timer driver into application code. That is non-standard, non-portable, and cannot be supported

Title: TIMER INTERRUPT CALLBACK
Description: The timer upper half driver at drivers/timers/timer.c performs
interrupt level callbacks into applications. This, of course,
will never work in anything but a non-secure, flat build.
Status: Open
Priority: Medium. The driver is only usable with all of its features
in a FLAT build.
Title: USER MODE TASKS CAN MODIFY PRIVILEGED TASKS
Description: Certain interfaces, such as sched_setparam(),
sched_setscheduler(), etc. can be used by user mode tasks to
