posix-timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911

copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other expired cpu timers.

Change copy_signal() to set cputime_expires.prof_exp if we have RLIMIT_CPU.
Also, set cputimer.running = 1 in that case. This is not strictly necessary,
but imho makes sense.
