signalfd: fix interaction with posix-timers

dequeue_signal:

	if (__SI_TIMER) {
		spin_unlock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
		do_schedule_next_timer(info);
		spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
	}

Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from
exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer()
is just wrong.

Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal().

This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers
if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another
sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.
