exit: change the release_task() paths to call flush_sigqueue() lockless

A task can block a signal, accumulate up to RLIMIT_SIGPENDING sigqueues,
and exit. In this case __exit_signal()->flush_sigqueue() called with irqs
disabled can trigger a hard lockup, see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190322114917.GC28876@redhat.com/

Fortunately, after the recent posixtimer changes sys_timer_delete() paths
no longer try to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC and/or free tmr->sigq, and after
the exiting task passes __exit_signal() lock_task_sighand() can't succeed
and pid_task(tmr->it_pid) will return NULL.

This means that after __exit_signal(tsk) nobody can play with tsk->pending
or (if group_dead) with tsk->signal->shared_pending, so release_task() can
safely call flush_sigqueue() after write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock).

TODO:
	- we can probably shift posix_cpu_timers_exit() as well
	- do_sigaction() can hit the similar problem
