posix-timers: sys_timer_create: simplify and s/tasklist/rcu/

- Change the code to do rcu_read_lock() instead of taking tasklist_lock,
  it is safe to get_task_struct(p) if p was found under RCU.

  However, now we must not use process's sighand/signal, they may be NULL.
  We can use current->sighand/signal instead, this "process" must belong
  to the current's thread-group.

- Factor out the common code for 2 "if (timer_event_spec)" branches, the
  !timer_event_spec case can use current too.

- use spin_lock_irq() instead of _irqsave(), kill "flags".
