Using a linear O(N) search for timer insertion affects execution time and D-cache footprint badly with a larger number of timers.
Switch the storage to a timerqueue which is already used for hrtimers and alarmtimers. It does not affect the size of struct k_itimer as it.alarm is still larger. The extra list head for the expiry list will go away later once the expiry is moved into task work context.
