posix-timers: sys_timer_create: cleanup the error handling
Cleanup. - sys_timer_create() is big and complicated. The code above the "out:" label relies on the fact that "error" must be == 0. This is not very robust, make the code more explicit. Remove the unneeded initialization of error. - If idr_get_new() succeeds (as it normally should), we check the returned value twice. Move the "-EAGAIN" check under "if (error)".
