Subject: [patch V7 02/21] posix-timers: Make signal delivery consistent

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

Signals of timers which are reprogammed, disarmed or deleted can deliver
signals related to the past. The POSIX spec is blury about this:

 - "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
    notifications is unspecified."

 - "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
    unspecified."

In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has
been disarmed. This makes the behaviour consistent and understandable.

Remove the si_sys_private check from the signal delivery code and invoke
posix_timer_deliver_signal() unconditionally for posix timer related
signals.

Change posix_timer_deliver_signal() so it controls the actual signal
delivery via the return value. It now instructs the signal code to drop the
signal when:

  1) The timer does not longer exist in the hash table

  2) The timer signal_seq value is not the same as the si_sys_private value
     which was set when the signal was queued.

This is also a preparatory change to embed the sigqueue into the k_itimer
structure, which in turn allows to remove the si_sys_private magic.

V6: Remove the sequence increment from delivery and turn the requeue
    pending check into a WARN_ON_ONCE() (Frederic)
    Move the sequence increment into the delete hook so that the exit
    cleanup path is covered too
