Subject: [PATCH v2 8/7] signal: cleanup sys_rt_sigprocmask()

sys_rt_sigprocmask() looks unnecessarily complicated, simplify it.
We can just read current->blocked lockless unconditionally before
anything else and then copy-to-user it if needed.  At worst we
copy 4 words on mips.

We could copy-to-user the old mask first and simplify the code even
more, but the patch tries to keep the current behaviour: we change
current->block even if copy_to_user(oset) fails.
