WenTao Liang 87bd2ad568 posix-cpu-timers: Fix pid refcount leak in do_cpu_nanosleep() error path
In do_cpu_nanosleep(), posix_cpu_timer_create() takes a pid reference
via get_pid() and stores it in timer.it.cpu.pid. If the subsequent
posix_cpu_timer_set() call fails, the function returns immediately
without calling posix_cpu_timer_del() to release the pid reference,
causing a leak.

Fix it by calling posix_cpu_timer_del() before the unlock-and-return
on the error path, consistent with the other exit paths in the same
function.
