posix-timers: Use sighand lock instead of tasklist_lock for task clock sample
There is no need for the tasklist_lock just to take a process wide clock sample. All we need is to get a coherent sample that doesn't race with exit() and exec(): * exit() may be concurrently reaping a task and flushing its time * sighand is unstable under exit() and exec(), and the latter also result in group leader that can change To protect against these, locking the target's sighand is enough.
