posix-cpu-timers: Clear TICK_DEP_BIT_POSIX_TIMER on clone

[ Upstream commit b5413156bad91dc2995a5c4eab1b05e56914638a ]

When cloning a new thread, its posix_cputimers are not inherited, and
are cleared by posix_cputimers_init(). However, this does not clear the
tick dependency it creates in tsk->tick_dep_mask, and the handler does
not reach the code to clear the dependency if there were no timers to
begin with.

Thus if a thread has a cputimer running before clone/fork, all
descendants will prevent nohz_full unless they create a cputimer of
their own.

Fix this by entirely clearing the tick_dep_mask in copy_process().
(There is currently no inherited state that needs a tick dependency)

Process-wide timers do not have this problem because fork does not copy
signal_struct as a baseline, it creates one from scratch.

Fixes: b78783000d5c ("posix-cpu-timers: Migrate to use new tick dependency mask model")
