Subject: [PATCH 4.4 10/22] kernel/signal.c: protect the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE tasks from !sig_kernel_only() signals

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

commit ac25385089f673560867eb5179228a44ade0cfc1 upstream.

Change sig_task_ignored() to drop the SIG_DFL && !sig_kernel_only()
signals even if force == T.  This simplifies the next change and this
matches the same check in get_signal() which will drop these signals
anyway.
