Oleg Nesterov 4aa7361179 posix-timers: don't switch to ->group_leader if ->it_process dies ...

posix_timer_event() drops SIGEV_THREAD_ID and switches to ->group_leader
if send_sigqueue() fails.

This is not very useful and doesn't work reliably.  send_sigqueue() can
only fail if ->it_process is dead.  But it can die before it dequeues the
SI_TIMER signal, in that case the timer stops anyway.

Remove this code.  I guess it was needed a long ago to ensure that the
timer is not destroyed when when its creator thread dies.

Q: perhaps it makes sense to change sys_timer_settime() to return an error
if ->it_process is dead?
