posix-cpu-timers: Make timespec to nsec conversion safe
The expiry time of a posix cpu timer is supplied through sys_timer_set() via a struct timespec. The timespec is validated for correctness. In the actual set timer implementation the timespec is converted to a scalar nanoseconds value. If the tv_sec part of the time spec is large enough the conversion to nanoseconds (sec * NSEC_PER_SEC) overflows 64bit. Mitigate that by using the timespec_to_ktime() conversion function, which checks the tv_sec part for a potential mult overflow and clamps the result to KTIME_MAX, which is about 292 years.
