[PATCH] ITIMER_REAL: fix possible deadlock and race
As Steven Rostedt pointed out, there are 2 problems with ITIMER_REAL
timers.
1. do_setitimer() does not call del_timer_sync() in case
when the timer is not pending (it_real_value() returns 0).
This is wrong, the timer may still be running, and it can
rearm itself.
2. It calls del_timer_sync() with tsk->sighand->siglock held.
This is deadlockable, because timer's handler needs this
lock too.
