Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/3] nbd: nbd_thread_send: remove the unnecessary
	kernel_dequeue_signal()

nbd_thread_send() does kernel_dequeue_signal() at the end for no reason,
it is fine to exit with the pending SIGKILL.

Not sure it really needs another kernel_dequeue_signal() inside the
main loop, we know that signal_pending() means SIGKILL. But probably
we want to clear TIF_SIGPENDING before sock_shutdown().
