Backport 4207f4a from #63491.

Fixes #62908

The documentation suggests that k_timer_start can be invoked from ISR
and preemptive contexts, however, an assertion failure occurs if one
k_timer_start call preempts another for the same timer instance. This
commit mitigates the issue by implementing a spinlock throughout the
k_timer_start function, ensuring thread-safety.

Fixes: #62908
