When a process deletes cpu timer or a timer expires we do not clear
the expiration cache sig->cputimer_expires.

As a result the fastpath_timer_check() which prevents us to loop over
all threads in case no timer is active is not working and we run the
slow path needlessly on every tick.

Zero sig->cputimer_expires in stop_process_timers().
