      signalfd simplification · b8fceee1
      Davide Libenzi authored
      This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
      sighand during its lifetime.
      
      In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
      poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2).  This also allows to remove
      all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
      dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".
      
      I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.
      
      The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
      private signals and the group ones.  I think this is an acceptable
      behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
      fetch w/out signalfd.
