Subject: [PATCH 0/8] signal: refactor some functions

Hey,

This series refactors a bunch of functions in signal.c to simplify parts
of the code.
The greatest single change is declaring the static do_sigpending()
helper as void which makes it possible to remove a bunch of unnecessary
checks in the syscalls later on.

Thanks!
Christian

  signal: make may_ptrace_stop() return bool
  signal: add copy_pending() helper
  signal: flatten do_send_sig_info()
  signal: drop else branch in do_signal_stop()
