Fix timeouts in sys_pselect7 

Since we (Analog Devices) updated our Blackfin kernel to 2.6.28, we've
seen occasional 5-second hangs from telnet.  telnetd calls select with a
NULL timeout, but with the new kernel, the system call occasionally
returns 0, which causes telnet to call sleep (5).  This did not happen
with earlier kernels.

The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable
"to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was
passed in, but not used further.  It needs to be passed to
core_sys_select instead of &end_time.

This bug was introduced by 8ff3e8e85f
("select: switch select() and poll() over to hrtimers").
