Subject: [PATCH 5.15 009/167] fix race between exit_itimers() and /proc/pid/timers

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

commit d5b36a4dbd06c5e8e36ca8ccc552f679069e2946 upstream.

As Chris explains, the comment above exit_itimers() is not correct,
we can race with proc_timers_seq_ops. Change exit_itimers() to clear
signal->posix_timers with ->siglock held.
