timers: Fix slack calculation for expired timers
commit 3bbb9ec946 (timers: Introduce the concept of timer slack for legacy timers) does not take the case into account when the timer is already expired. This broke wireless drivers. The solution is not to apply slack to already expired timers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
