[ Upstream commit 96a598996f6ac518ac79839ecbb17c91af91f4f7 ]

When responding to a debug trap (breakpoint) in userspace, the
kernel's trap handler raised SIGTRAP but returned from the trap via a
code path that ignored pending signals, resulting in an infinite loop
re-executing the trapping instruction.
