signals: protect init from unwanted signals more
(This is a modified version of the patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/18/249 and tries to address comments that
came up in that discussion)
init ignores the SIG_DFL signals but we queue them anyway, including
SIGKILL. This is mostly OK, the signal will be dropped silently when
dequeued, but the pending SIGKILL has 2 bad implications:
- it implies fatal_signal_pending(), so we confuse things
like wait_for_completion_killable/lock_page_killable.
- for the sub-namespace inits, the pending SIGKILL can
mask (legacy_queue) the subsequent SIGKILL from the
parent namespace which must kill cinit reliably.
(preparation, cinits don't have SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE yet)
The patch can't help when init is ptraced, but ptracing of init is not
"safe" anyway.
