[patch V2 26/50] signal: Get rid of resched_timer logic

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

There is no reason for handing the *resched pointer argument through
several functions just to check whether the signal is related to a self
rearming posix timer.

SI_TIMER is only used by the posix timer code and cannot be queued from
user space. The only extra check in collect_signal() to verify whether the
queued signal is preallocated is not really useful. Some other places
already check purely the SI_TIMER type.
