When old is NULL, call old->it_interval.tv_sec to dereference a null pointer in getitimer.

The commit 558c01338b0b635632e70af6ec8a484ca70b0328 introduces this problem.

Null old is not sensible. POSIX and the Linux manpage say "The
getitimer() function shall store the current value of the timer
specified by which into the structure pointed to by value."
NULL is not a valid structure. musl does not need to work around
application bugs.
