[PATCH v2] kernel/itimer.c: beautify code, not need check 'value', so save one instruction, simpler and easier for readers.

[Chen Gang <gang.chen@asianux.com>]

Since copy_to_user() will check 'value', we do not need check it outside
again,  so can save one comparing instruction at least.

Also can let code simpler and easier for readers: if checking parameter
'value', it will easily lead readers to think about why not return
-EINVAL instead of -EFAULT, when checking parameter failed.
