Subject: [patch 2/2] posix-cpu-timers: Remove private interval storage

Posix CPU timers store the interval in private storage for historical
reasons (it_interval used to be a non scalar representation on 32bit
systems). This is gone and there is no reason for duplicated storage
anymore.

Use it_interval everywhere.
