Subject: [PATCH 2/2] signal: Add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@...el.com>

This patch abstracts the code sequence for adding a signal handler's
sa_mask to current->blocked because the sequence is identical for all
architectures. Furthermore, in the past some architectures actually
got this code wrong, so introduce a wrapper that all architectures can
use.
