sched: run_posix_cpu_timers: Don't check ->exit_state, use lock_task_sighand()

Browse source 
run_posix_cpu_timers() doesn't work if current has already passed
exit_notify(). This was needed to prevent the races with do_wait().

Since ea6d290c ->signal is always valid and can't go away. We can
remove the "tsk->exit_state == 0" in fastpath_timer_check() and
convert run_posix_cpu_timers() to use lock_task_sighand().

Note: it makes sense to take group_leader's sighand instead, the
sub-thread still uses CPU after release_task(). But we need more
changes to do this.
