It looks like if you make this code say:
			if (fatal_signal_pending(current) ||
			    (current->flags & PF_EXITING)) {
				DRM_ERROR("Error (%ld) waiting for fence!\n", r);
				return r;

Than you would not need the horrible hack want_signal to deliver signals
to processes who have passed exit_signal() and don't expect to need
their signal handling mechanisms anymore.
