Subject: [PATCH 14/X] uprobes: uprobe_deny_signal: check
	__fatal_signal_pending()

Change uprobe_deny_signal() to check __fatal_signal_pending() along with
xol_was_trapped().

Normally this is not really needed but this is safer. And this makes more
clear the fact that even SIGKILL is handled via UTASK_SSTEP_TRAPPED. Once
again, SIGKILL can be pending because of the core-dumping, we should not
exit with regs->ip pointing to ->xol_vaddr.
