[patch v6 10/20] signal: Replace resched_timer logic

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

In preparation for handling ignored posix timer signals correctly and
embedding the sigqueue struct into struct k_itimer, hand down a pointer to
the sigqueue struct into posix_timer_deliver_signal() instead of just
having a boolean flag.

No functional change.
