    posix-cpu-timers: Reset expire cache when no timer is running
    
    When a process deletes cpu timer or a timer expires we do not clear
    the expiration cache sig->cputimer_expires.
    
    As a result the fastpath_timer_check() which prevents us to loop over
    all threads in case no timer is active is not working and we run the
    slow path needlessly on every tick.
    
    Zero sig->cputimer_expires in stop_process_timers().
