posix-timers: Target group sigqueue to current task only if not exiting
commit 63dffec upstream. A sigqueue belonging to a posix timer, which target is not a specific thread but a whole thread group, is preferrably targeted to the current task if it is part of that thread group. However nothing prevents a posix timer event from queueing such a sigqueue from a reaped yet running task. The interruptible code space between exit_notify() and the final call to schedule() is enough for posix_timer_fn() hrtimer to fire. If that happens while the current task is part of the thread group target, it is proposed to handle it but since its sighand pointer may have been cleared already, the sigqueue is dropped even if there are other tasks running within the group that could handle it. As a result posix timers with thread group wide target may miss signals when some of their threads are exiting. Fix this with verifying that the current task hasn't been through exit_notify() before proposing it as a preferred target so as to ensure that its sighand is still here and stable. complete_signal() might still reconsider the choice and find a better target within the group if current has passed retarget_shared_pending() already.
