Subject: [PATCH 09/17] signal: remove three noop tracehooks

Remove the following three noop tracehooks in signals.c.

* tracehook_force_sigpending()
* tracehook_get_signal()
* tracehook_finish_jctl()

The code area is about to be updated and these hooks don't do anything
other than obfuscating the logic.
