There is no need to rearm the alarm timer when a qemu timer is deleted.
The current code contains a redundant rearm whenever qemu_del_timer() is used,
which is very often - in every qemu_mod_timer().
The rearm in qemu_mod_timer() is redundant because a currently-set timer
could not be brought forward due to delete - only postponed. And postponing the
timer is better done once in the end of qemu_run_timers().
