Subject: [PATCH] 9p/client: don't assume signal_pending() clears on
 recalc_sigpending()

signal_pending() really means that an exit to userspace is required to
clear the condition, as it could be either an actual signal, or it could
be TWA_SIGNAL based task_work that needs processing. The 9p client
does a recalc_sigpending() to take care of the former, but that still
leaves TWA_SIGNAL task_work. The result is that if we do have TWA_SIGNAL
task_work pending, then we'll sit in a tight loop spinning as
signal_pending() remains true even after recalc_sigpending().

Move the signal_pending() logic into a helper that deals with both.
