This isn't exactly nice..

I tried something like:

	scoped_cond_guard (mutex_intr, return -EINTR, &task->signal->cred_guard_mutex) {
		...
	}

Which I can make work, but then I also tried to capture my other case:

	scoped_cond_guard (rwsem_down_intr, if (task) return -EINTR,
			   task ? &task->signal->exec_guard_mutex : NULL)  {

		...
	}

But I can't get that to work because of that extra if, the not case
doesn't fall through and do the body.

Anyway, I'll poke more..
