Michael Pratt d5d21724af posix-cpu-timers: Clear task::posix_cputimers_work in copy_process()
commit ca7752caea upstream.

copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a
timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct
completes then the child task will have:

1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued.

copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and
posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense
for two tasks to share a common linked list).

Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is
never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip
scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive
timer expirations.

Together, the complete flow is:

1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel.
2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1.
   2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
   2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to
       task_struct.task_works.
3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2.
4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2.
5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see
   task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling
   work.

Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work
in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across
tasks in the first place.
