sched, signals: fix the racy usage of ->signal in account_group_xxx/run_posix_cpu_timers
Impact: fix potential NULL dereference Contrary to ad474caca3e2a0550b7ce0706527ad5ab389a4d4 changelog, other acct_group_xxx() helpers can be called after exit_notify() by timer tick. Thanks to Roland for pointing out this. Somehow I missed this simple fact when I read the original patch, and I am afraid I confused Frank during the discussion. Sorry. Fortunately, these helpers work with current, we can check ->exit_state to ensure that ->signal can't go away under us. Also, add the comment and compiler barrier to account_group_exec_runtime(), to make sure we load ->signal only once.
