psos/tm: fix race in timer removal code

The initial code would race in delete_timer() against the task
finalizer by lack of synchronization on the task lock.

In addition, as observed in a SMP situation, such lack of locking
results in no memory barrier being issued after removing the timer
from the per-task timer_list queue, which eventually causes a remote
CPU altering this queue concurrently to work on stale pointers.
