posix-timers: Zero out oldval itimerspec
The recent posix timer rework moved the clearing of the itimerspec to the real syscall implementation, but forgot that the kclock->timer_get() is used by timer_settime() as well. That results in an uninitialized variable and bogus values returned to user space. Add the missing memset to timer_settime().
