[PATCH 1/3] signals: sigqueue_free: don't free sigqueue if it is queued

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>]

Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the
pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the
"full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all.

Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list
if it is queued.

This patch doesn't change the behaviour of sys_timer_delete() and friends,
just makes it more correct and allows us to introduce other SIGQUEUE_ flags
passed to the receiver.
