posix timers: release_posix_timer: kill the bogus put_task_struct(->it_process);
release_posix_timer() can't be called with ->it_process != NULL. Once
sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process it must not call
release_posix_timer(), otherwise we can race with another thread doing
sys_timer_delete(), this timer is visible to idr_find() and unlocked.
The same is true for two other callers (actually, for any possible
caller), sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete(). They must clear
->it_process before unlock_timer() + release_posix_timer().
