sigqueue_free: fix the race with collect_signal()

Spotted by taoyue <yue.tao@windriver.com> and Jeremy Katz <jeremy.katz@windriver.com>.

collect_signal: sigqueue_free:

list_del_init(&first->list);
if (!list_empty(&q->list)) {
// not taken
}
q->flags &= ~SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC;

__sigqueue_free(first); __sigqueue_free(q);

Now, __sigqueue_free() is called twice on the same "struct sigqueue" with the
obviously bad implications.

In particular, this double free breaks the array_cache->avail logic, so the
same sigqueue could be "allocated" twice, and the bug can manifest itself via
the "impossible" BUG_ON(!SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC) in sigqueue_free/send_sigqueue.

Hopefully this can explain these mysterious bug-reports, see

Alexey Dobriyan reports this patch makes the difference for the testcase, but
nobody has an access to the application which opened the problems originally.

Also, this patch removes tasklist lock/unlock, ->siglock is enough.
