Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: add ability to get/set signal-blocked mask (v2)

crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is
injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE.

Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has
pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals.

This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a
few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we
will need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending,
because a state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing.

This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask.

I think gdb can use this commands too.

v2: Don't use __set_task_blocked with tsk != current.
recalc_sigpending() is not called here, because it will be called after
resume. retarget_shared_pending() are not called, because we suppose,
that other threads are stopped too.
