Subject: [PATCH RESEND 05/11] signals: cleanup the usage of t/current in
	do_sigaction()

The usage of "task_struct *t" and "current" in do_sigaction() looks
really annoying and chaotic. Initially "t" is used as a cached value
of current but not consistently, then it is reused as a loop variable
and we have to use "current" again.

Cleanup this mess and also convert the code to use for_each_thread().
