posix_cpu_timer: Optimize fastpath_timer_check()

In fastpath_timer_check(), the task_cputime() function is always
called to compute the utime and stime values. However, this is not
necessary if there are no per-thread timers to check for. This patch
modifies the code such that we compute the task_cputime values only
when there are per-thread timers set.
