[PATCH 6/6 -mm] cpu-timers: optimize run_posix_cpu_timers()

[Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>]

We can optimize and simplify things taking into account signal->cputimer
is always running when we have configured any process wide cpu timer.

In check_process_timers(), we don't have to check if new updated value
of signal->cputime_expires is smaller, since we maintain new first
expiration time ({prof,virt,sched}_expires) in code flow and all other
writes to expiration cache are protected by sighand->siglock .
