posix timers: release_posix_timer: kill the bogus put_task_struct(->i…

…t_process);

release_posix_timer() can't be called with ->it_process != NULL.  Once
sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process it must not call
release_posix_timer(), otherwise we can race with another thread doing
sys_timer_delete(), this timer is visible to idr_find() and unlocked.

The same is true for two other callers (actually, for any possible
caller), sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete().  They must clear
->it_process before unlock_timer() + release_posix_timer().
