Previously, two bugs exist in sigtimedwait(). One is, that since
_my_tls.sigwait_mask was left non-zero if the signal arrives after
the timeout, sigpacket::process() would wrongly try to handle it.
The other is if a timeout occurs after sigpacket::process() is
called, but not completed yet, the signal handler can be called
accidentally. If the signal handler is set to SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN,
access violation will occur in both cases.

With this patch, in sigwait_common(), check if sigwait_mask == 0
to confirm that sigpacket::process() cleared it. In this case,
do not treat WAIT_TIMEOUT, but call cygwait() again to retrieve
the signal. Furthermore, sigpacket::process() checks whether
timeout occurs in sigwait_common() and if timeout already happens,
do not treat the signal as waited. In both cases, to avoid race
issues, the code is guarded by cygtls::lock().
