signals: fix sigqueue_free() vs __exit_signal() race
__exit_signal() does flush_sigqueue(tsk->pending) outside of ->siglock.
This can race with another thread doing sigqueue_free(), we can free the
same SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC sigqueue twice or corrupt the pending->list.
Note that even sys_exit_group() can trigger this race, not only
sys_timer_delete().
Move the callsite of flush_sigqueue(tsk->pending) under ->siglock.
This patch doesn't touch flush_sigqueue(->shared_pending) below, it is
called when there are no other threads which can play with signals, and
sigqueue_free() can't be used outside of our thread group.
