Subject: [PATCH 4/4] posix-timers: turn it_signal into it_valid flag

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

Now that the timer IDR is per process we don't need to save
the signal_struct in the timer anymore. Still need this
as a flag for RCU, so turn it into a it_valid flag.

Suggested by Eric Dumazet
