[patch V2 09/50] posix-cpu-timers: Handle interval timers correctly in timer_get()

[Thomas Gleixner]

timer_gettime() must return the remaining time to the next expiry of a
timer or 0 if the timer is not armed and no signal pending, but posix CPU
timers fail to forward a timer which is already expired.

Add the required logic to address that.
