Subject: [PATCH] x86: do_signal: simplify the TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK logic

1. do_signal() looks at TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and calculates the
   mask which should be stored in the signal frame, then it
   passes "oldset" to the callees, down to setup_rt_frame().

   This is ugly, setup_rt_frame() can do this itself and nobody
   else needs this sigset_t. Move this code into setup_rt_frame.

2. do_signal() also clears TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK if handle_signal()
   succeeds.

   We can move this to setup_rt_frame() as well, this avoids the
   unnecessary checks and makes the logic more clear.

3. use set_current_blocked() instead of sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK),
   sigprocmask() should be avoided.
