Subject: [PATCH v5 6/6] signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in.

Wen Yang <wen.yang99@....com.cn> and majiang <ma.jiang@....com.cn>
report that a periodic signal received during fork can cause fork to
continually restart preventing an application from making progress.

The code was being overly pesimistic.  Fork needs to guarantee that a
signal sent to multiple processes is logically delivered before the
fork and just to the forking process or logically delivered after the
fork to both the forking process and it's newly spawned child.  For
signals like periodic timers that are always delivered to a single
process fork can safely complete and let them appear to logically
delivered after the fork().

While examining this issue I also discovered that fork today will miss
signals delivered to multiple processes during the fork and handled by
another thread.  Similarly the current code will also miss blocked
signals that are delivered to multiple process, as those signals will
not appear pending during fork.

Add a list of each thread that is currently forking, and keep on that
list a signal set that records all of the signals sent to multiple
processes.  When fork completes initialize the new processes
shared_pending signal set with it.  The calculate_sigpending function
will see those signals and set TIF_SIGPENDING causing the new task to
take the slow path to userspace to handle those signals.  Making it
appear as if those signals were received immediately after the fork.

It is not possible to send real time signals to multiple processes and
exceptions don't go to multiple processes, which means that that are
no signals sent to multiple processes that require siginfo.  This
means it is safe to not bother collecting siginfo on signals sent
during fork.

The sigaction of a child of fork is initially the same as the
sigaction of the parent process.  So a signal the parent ignores the
child will also initially ignore.  Therefore it is safe to ignore
signals sent to multiple processes and ignored by the forking process.

Signals sent to only a single process or only a single thread and delivered
during fork are treated as if they are received after the fork, and generally
not dealt with.  They won't cause any problems.

V2: Added removal from the multiprocess list on failure.
V3: Use -ERESTARTNOINTR directly
V4: - Don't queue both SIGCONT and SIGSTOP
    - Initialize signal_struct.multiprocess in init_task
    - Move setting of shared_pending to before the new task
      is visible to signals.  This prevents signals from comming
      in before shared_pending.signal is set to delayed.signal
      and being lost.
V5: - rework list add and delete to account for idle threads
