[patch V2 14/50] posix-cpu-timers: Use @now instead of @val for clarity

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

posix_cpu_timer_set() uses @val as variable for the current time. That's
confusing at best.

Use @now as anywhere else and rewrite the confusing comment about clock
sampling.

No functional change.
