The reasons why the extra posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() invocation has been
added are not entirely clear from the commit message. Today all that
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() does is stop timers that are tracking the
task from firing. Every other operation on those timers is still allowed.
The practical implication of this is posix_cpu_timer_del() which could
not get the siglock after the thread group leader has exited (because
sighand == NULL) would be able to run successfully because the timer
was already dequeued.
With that locking issue fixed there is no point in disabling all of the
timers. So remove this ``tempoary'' hack.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
