[PATCH 5/5] posix-cpu-timers: Stop disabling timers on mt-exec

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

The reasons Oleg added the extra posix_cpu_timers_exit_group are not
entirely clear from his commit message.  Today all that
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group does is stop timers that are tracking the
task from firing.  Every other operation on those timers is still
allowed.

The practical implication of this is posix_cpu_timer_del which could
not get the siglock after the thread group leader has exited (because
sighand == NULL) would be able to run successfully because the timer
was already dequeued.

With that locking issue fixed there is no point in disabling all
of the timers.  So remove Oleg's ``tempoary'' hack.
