posix_timers: Kick full dynticks CPUs when a posix cpu timer is armed

Kick the full dynticks CPUs when a posix cpu timer is enqueued by
way of a standard call to posix_cpu_timer_set() or set_process_cpu_timer().
This also include rescheduled firing timers.

This way they can re-evaluate the state of (and possibly restart) their
tick against the new expiry modification.
