posix-timers: Initialize cache early and move pointer into __timer_data

Move posix_timers_cache initialization to posixtimer_init(). At that point
the memory subsystem is already up and running.

Also move the cache pointer to the __timer_data variable to avoid
potential false sharing, since it never was marked as __ro_after_init.
