Subject: [PATCH 1/4] signalfd: introduce signalfd_cleanup()

Preparation. __cleanup_sighand() obviously must not free sighand
if ->signalfd_wqh is in use. And the new helper which checks this
wait_queue_head_t before kmem_cache_free(). Currently it does
nothing except it helps to catch the bug early.
