[PATCH -mm 4/7][AIO] - Make good_sigevent() non-static

["Sébastien Dugué" <sebastien.dugue@bull.net>]

From: Sébastien Dugué <sebastien.dugue@bull.net>

                Make good_sigevent() non-static and rename it


  Move good_sigevent() from posix-timers.c to signal.c where it belongs,
clean it up, rename it to sigevent_find_task() to better describe what the
function does and make it non-static so that it can be used by other
 subsystems.
