posix timers: timer_delete: remove the bogus "->it_process != NULL" check

sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete() check "timer->it_process != NULL",
this looks completely bogus.  ->it_process == NULL means that this timer
is already under destruction or it is not fully initialized, this must not
happen.

	sys_timer_delete: the timer is locked, and lock_timer() can't succeed
	if ->it_process == NULL.

	itimer_delete: it is called by exit_itimers() when there are no other
	threads which can play with signal_struct->posix_timers.
