posix_cpu_timer: Check thread timers only when there are active thread timers

The fastpath_timer_check() contains logic to check for if any timers
are set by checking if !task_cputime_zero(). Similarly, we can do this
before calling check_thread_timers(). In the case where there
are only process-wide timers, this will skip all of the computations for
per-thread timers when there are no per-thread timers.

As suggested by George, we can put the task_cputime_zero() check in
check_thread_timers(), since that is more of an optization to the
function. Similarly, we move the existing check of cputimer->running
to check_process_timers().
