tracing/timers: Enhance timer_start tracepoint

For starting a timer, the timer is enqueued into a bucket of the timer
wheel. The bucket expiry is the defacto expiry of the timer but it is not
equal the timer expiry because of increasing granularity when bucket is in
a higher level of the wheel. To be able to figure out in a trace whether a
timer expired in time or not, the bucket expiry time is required as well.

Add bucket expiry time to the timer_start tracepoint and thereby simplify
the arguments.
