Subject: [PATCH 11/16] signal: prepare for CLD_* notification changes

Add docbook comment for do_notify_parent_cldstop(), fix a comment typo
and add boilerplat code to prepare for moving notification
determination logic into do_notify_parent_cldstop().

This patch doesn't cause any visible behavior change.
