posix-timers: use "struct pid*" instead of "struct task_struct*" 



Impact: restructure, clean up code

k_itimer holds the ref to the ->it_process until sys_timer_delete(). This
allows to pin up to RLIMIT_SIGPENDING dead task_struct's. Change the code
to use "struct pid *" instead.

The patch doesn't kill ->it_process, it places ->it_pid into the union.
->it_process is still used by do_cpu_nanosleep() as before. It would be
trivial to change the nanosleep code as well, but since it uses it_process
in a special way I think it is better to keep this field for grep.

The patch bloats the kernel by 104 bytes and it also adds the new pointer,
->it_signal, to k_itimer. It is used by lock_timer() to verify that the
found timer was not created by another process. It is not clear why do we
use the global database (and thus the global idr_lock) for posix timers.
We still need the signal_struct->posix_timers which contains all useable
timers, perhaps it is better to use some form of per-process array
instead.
