KVM: Drop useless atomic test from timer function

The current code tries to optimize the setting of
KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER but used atomic_inc_and_test - which always
returns true unless pending had the invalid value of -1 on entry. This
patch drops the test part preserving the original semantic but
expressing it less confusingly.
