posix-timers: check ->it_signal instead of ->it_pid to validate the timer
Impact: clean up, speed up ->it_pid (was ->it_process) has also a special meaning: if it is NULL, the timer is under deletion or it wasn't initialized yet. We can check ->it_signal != NULL instead, this way we can - simplify sys_timer_create() a bit - remove yet another check from lock_timer() - move put_pid(->it_pid) into release_posix_timer() which runs outside of ->it_lock Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
