Subject: posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on exec

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.

As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

Subject: Include <asm/a.out.h> in fs/exec.c only for Alpha.

We only need it for the /sbin/loader hack for OSF/1 executables, and we
don't want to include it otherwise.

While we're at it, remove the redundant '&& CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT'
in the ifdef around that code. It's already dependent on __alpha__, and
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is hard-coded to 'y' there.
