The fastpath_timer_check() contains logic to check for if any timers
are set by checking if !task_cputime_zero(). Similarly, we can do this
before calling check_thread_timers(). In the case where there
are only process-wide timers, this will skip all the computations for
the per-thread timers when there are no per-thread timers.
