signals: do_tkill: don't use tasklist_lock
Convert do_tkill() to use rcu_read_lock() + lock_task_sighand() to avoid
taking tasklist lock.
Note that we don't return an error if lock_task_sighand() fails, we pretend
the task dies after receiving the signal. Otherwise, we should fight with the
nasty races with mt-exec without having any advantage.
