posix-timers: sys_timer_create: cleanup the error handling

Browse source 
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)".
