Subject: [patch V7 07/21] signal: Split up __sigqueue_alloc()

To cure the SIG_IGN handling for posix interval timers, the preallocated
sigqueue needs to be embedded into struct k_itimer to prevent life time
races of all sorts.

Reorganize __sigqueue_alloc() so the ucounts retrieval and the
initialization can be used independently.

No functional change.
