Subject: [patch V3 39/51] signal: Add sys_private_ptr to
 siginfo::_sifields::_timer

On signal delivery collect_signal() copies the queued siginfo into a caller
provided siginfo struct. The posix timer signal delivery code then uses
siginfo::si_tid to lookup the timer in the hash table.

That's required today as the timer and the sigqueue are separate entities
and have different life time rules.

The sigqueue will be embedded into struct k_itimer to address a few issues
in the posix timer signal handling, which means the life time rules are
not longer separate, which can spare the lookup.

Due to locking rules posixtimer_deliver_signal() cannot be invoked from
collect_signal(). The timer pointer could be handed down from
collect_signal() to dequeue_signal(), but that's just overhead for the
non-posixtimer case.

There is room in the _sifields union for an extra pointer which will be
used later for storing the timer pointer. This field is copied with siginfo
and cleared before the info is delivered to userspace like the existing
si_sys_private field.
