Subject: [PATCH V6 04/10] fork: Add USER_WORKER flag to ignore signals

From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@...ntu.com>

Since this is mirroring kthread's sig ignore api introduced in

commit 10ab825bdef8 ("change kernel threads to ignore signals instead of
blocking them")

this patch adds an option flag, USER_WORKER_SIG_IGN, handled in
copy_process() after copy_sighand() and copy_signals() to ease the
transition from kthreads to this new api.
