random: fix locking dependency with the tasklist_lock Commit 6133705494bb introduced a circular lock dependency because posix_cpu_timers_exit() is called by release_task(), which is holding a writer lock on tasklist_lock, and this can cause a deadlock since kill_fasync() gets called with nonblocking_pool.lock taken. There's no reason why kill_fasync() needs to be taken while the random pool is locked, so move it out to fix this locking dependency.
