alarmtimer: Fix argument order in alarm_timer_forward()

alarm_timer_forward() passes arguments to alarm_forward() in the wrong
order:

  alarm_forward(alarm, timr->it_interval, now);

However, alarm_forward() is defined as:

  u64 alarm_forward(struct alarm *alarm, ktime_t now, ktime_t interval);

and uses the second argument as the current time:

  delta = ktime_sub(now, alarm->node.expires);

Passing the interval as "now" results in incorrect delta computation,
which can lead to missed expirations or incorrect overrun accounting.

This issue has been present since the introduction of
alarm_timer_forward().

Fix this by swapping the arguments.
