Split run_posix_cpu_timers() into two pieces, the hard interrupt context
part and the actual timer evaluation/expiry part.
The hard interrupt context part contains only the lockless fast path check
and for now calls the expiry part as before.
No functional change. Preparatory change to move the expiry part into task
context.
