posix-timers: lock_timer: kill the bogus ->it_id check
lock_timer() checks that the timer found by idr_find(timer_id) has ->it_id
== timer_id. This buys nothing. This check can fail only if
sys_timer_create() unlocked idr_lock after idr_get_new(), but didn't set
->it_id = new_timer_id yet. But in that case ->it_process == NULL so
lock_timer() can't succeed anyway.
Also remove a couple of unneeded typecasts.
Note that with or without this patch we have a small problem.
sys_timer_create() doesn't ensure that the result of setting (say)
->it_sigev_notify must be visible if lock_timer() succeeds.
