[PATCH] Fix signal race during process exit

[PATCH] Fix signal race during process exit

Fix a race identified by Jeremy Kerr <jeremy@redfishsoftware.com.au>: if
update_process_times() decides to deliver a signal due to process timer
expiry, it can race with __exit_sighand()'s freeing of task->sighand.

Fix that by clearing the per-process timer state in exit_notify(), while under
local_irq_disable() and under tasklist_lock.  tasklist_lock provides exclusion
wrt release_task()'s freeing of task->sighand and local_irq_disable() provides
exclusion wrt update_process_times()'s inspection of the per-process timer
state.

We also need to deal with the send_sig() calls in do_process_times() by
setting rlim_cur to RLIM_INFINITY.
