[PATCH v3] doc: fix minor issues in the event timer adapter guide

In the example:
* Properly initialize the socket id field.
* Remove comments redundant and/or not consistent with the code. 180
  seconds is not 2 minutes.
* Remove redundant pointer initialization.

In both the example and text, the flags field of the conf struct was
erroneously referred to as timer_adapter_flags and the max_tmo_ns
field as max_tmo_nsec.

v2: max_tmo_nsec -> max_tmo_ns fix.
v3: Another max_tmo_nsec -> max_tmo_ns fix.

Fixes: 30e7fbd62839 ("doc: add event timer adapter guide")
