Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] signal/x86: do_signal: syscall restart should be done only once.

do_signal may be called multiple times from exit_to_usermode_loop.  In
those multiple calls, only the one should handle restarting the system
call.

When actually delivering a signal, make sure the register will not be
examined again as syscall errno by another call of do_signal.
