This is not consistent, the task should either receive the "full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all. Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list if it is queued. This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value, and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits the number of posix timers.
