It simply frees the SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC sigqueue, k_itimer->sigq.

Exactly, list_empty(q->list) == T. So release_posix_timer()->sigqueue_free() assumes we can safely free it.

Yes, and dequeue_signal()->do_schedule_next_timer() can trigger another send_sigqueue() which uses the same SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC sigqueue once we drop ->siglock.
This is not that bad, but at least ->si_overrun can be overwritten before __setup_rt_frame()->copy_siginfo_to_user().
