Fix a race between kern_setitimer() and realitexpire(), where the

Browse Source 
callout is started before kern_setitimer() acquires process mutex, but
looses a race and kern_setitimer() gets the process mutex before the
callout.  Then, assuming that new specified struct itimerval has
it_interval zero, but it_value non-zero, the callout, after it starts
executing again, clears p->p_realtimer.it_value, but kern_setitimer()
already rescheduled the callout.

As the result of the race, both p_realtimer is zero, and the callout
is rescheduled. Then, in the exit1(), the exit code sees that it_value
is zero and does not even try to stop the callout. This allows the
struct proc to be reused and eventually the armed callout is
re-initialized.  The consequence is the corrupted callwheel tailq.

Use process mutex to interlock the callout start, which fixes the race.
