timers: fix itimer/many thread hang, v2

This is the second resubmission of the posix timer rework patch, posted
a few days ago.

This includes the changes from the previous resubmittion, which addressed
Oleg Nesterov's comments, removing the RCU stuff from the patch and
un-inlining the thread_group_cputime() function for SMP.

In addition, per Ingo Molnar it simplifies the UP code, consolidating much
of it with the SMP version and depending on lower-level SMP/UP handling to
take care of the differences.

It also cleans up some UP compile errors, moves the scheduler stats-related
macros into kernel/sched_stats.h, cleans up a merge error in
kernel/fork.c and has a few other minor fixes and cleanups as suggested
by Oleg and Ingo. Thanks for the review, guys.
