Yeah, I cherry-picked bf9ad37dc8a:

      signal, x86: Delay calling signals in atomic on RT enabled kernels

Applied your force_sig_delayed() call to send_sig_perf() and got:

  [root@...e ~]# perf test sigtrap
   73: Sigtrap                                                         : Ok
  [root@...e ~]#

Happy camper indeed.
