Subject: [patch V3-2 11/51] posix-cpu-timers: Handle SIGEV_NONE timers
 correctly in timer_set()

Expired SIGEV_NONE oneshot timers must return 0 nsec for the expiry time in
timer_get(), but the posix CPU timer implementation returns 1 nsec.

Add the missing conditional.

This will be cleaned up in a follow up patch.
