And I'm afraid it needs more uglifications...

1. info->q can be already freed if SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC.

   Once get_signal_to_deliver() or any other caller drops ->siglock
   another thread can do sys_timer_delete()->sigqueue_free().

2. We need to move do_schedule_next_timer() from dequeue_signal()
   here.

   Otherwise ->q can be reused/overwritten by the next send_sigqueue()
   right affter ->siglock is dropped.

Oleg.
