exec: simplify ->sighand switching

There is no any reason to do recalc_sigpending() after changing ->sighand.
To begin with, recalc_sigpending() does not take ->sighand into account.

This means we don't need to take newsighand->siglock while changing sighands.
rcu_assign_pointer() provides a necessary barrier, and if another process
reads the new ->sighand it should either take tasklist_lock or it should use
lock_task_sighand() which has a corresponding smp_read_barrier_depends().
