posix timers: Improve the overrun calculation
timer_settime(2) may be used to configure a timeout in the past. If the timer is also periodic, we also try to compute the number of timer overruns that occurred between the initial timeout and the time at which the timer fired. This is done in a loop which iterates once per period between the initial timeout and now. If the period is small and the initial timeout was a long time ago, this loop can take forever to run, so the system is effectively DOSed. Replace the loop with a more direct calculation of (now - initial timeout) / period to compute the number of overruns.
