[ 07/86] posix-cpu-timers: Fix nanosleep task_struct leak

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>

commit e6c42c295e071dd74a66b5a9fcf4f44049888ed8 upstream.

The trinity fuzzer triggered a task_struct reference leak via
clock_nanosleep with CPU_TIMERs. do_cpu_nanosleep() calls
posic_cpu_timer_create(), but misses a corresponding
posix_cpu_timer_del() which leads to the task_struct reference leak.
