Well, this looks fine, but if we are going to make sparse happy
then we have more callers to fix.

Perhaps we should just renam lock_task_sighand to __lock_task_sighand
and add

	#define lock_task_sighand(tsk, flagsp)	\
		__cond_lock((tsk)->sighand->siglock, __lock_task_sighand((tsk), (flagsp)))

?
