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.
