posix timers: timer_delete: remove the bogus "->it_process != NULL" check sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete() check "timer->it_process != NULL", this looks completely bogus. ->it_process == NULL means that this timer is already under destruction or it is not fully initialized, this must not happen. sys_timer_delete: the timer is locked, and lock_timer() can't succeed if ->it_process == NULL. itimer_delete: it is called by exit_itimers() when there are no other threads which can play with signal_struct->posix_timers.
