Subject: [PATCH 06/11] signals: mv {dis,}allow_signal() from sched.h/exit.c
	to signal.[ch]

Move the declaration/definition of allow_signal/disallow_signal to
signal.h/signal.c. The new place is more logical and allows to use
the static helpers in signal.c (see the next changes).

While at it, make them return void and remove the valid_signal()
check. Nobody checks the returned value, and in-kernel users must
not pass the wrong signal number.
