Move sig_kernel_* et al macros to linux/signal.h
This patch moves the sig_kernel_* and related macros from kernel/signal.c to linux/signal.h, and cleans them up slightly. I need the sig_kernel_* macros for default signal behavior in the utrace code, and want to avoid duplication or overhead to share the knowledge.

246/*
247 * In POSIX a signal is sent either to a specific thread (Linux task)
248 * or to the process as a whole (Linux thread group). How the signal
249 * is sent determines whether it's to one thread or the whole group,
250 * which determines which signal mask(s) are involved in blocking it
251 * from being delivered until later. When the signal is delivered,
252 * either it's caught or ignored by a user handler or it has a default
253 * effect that applies to the whole thread group (POSIX process).
254 *
255 * The possible effects an unblocked signal set to SIG_DFL can have are:
256 * ignore - Nothing Happens
257 * terminate - kill the process, i.e. all threads in the group,
258 * similar to exit_group. The group leader (only) reports
259 * WIFSIGNALED status to its parent.
260 * coredump - write a core dump file describing all threads using
261 * the same mm and then kill all those threads
262 * stop - stop all the threads in the group, i.e. TASK_STOPPED state
263 *
264 * SIGKILL and SIGSTOP cannot be caught, blocked, or ignored.
265 * Other signals when not blocked and set to SIG_DFL behaves as follows.
266 * The job control signals also have other special effects.
267 *

283 * | SIGPIPE | terminate |
284 * | SIGALRM | terminate |
285 * | SIGTERM | terminate |
286 * | SIGCHLD | ignore |
287 * | SIGCONT | ignore(*) |

297 * | SIGPOLL/SIGIO | terminate |
298 * | SIGSYS/SIGUNUSED | coredump |
299 * | SIGSTKFLT | terminate |
300 * | SIGWINCH | ignore |
301 * | SIGPWR | terminate |
302 * | SIGRTMIN-SIGRTMAX | terminate |
303 * +--------------------+------------------+
304 * | non-POSIX signal | default action |
305 * +--------------------+------------------+
306 * | SIGEMT | coredump |
307 * +--------------------+------------------+
308 *
309 * (+) For SIGKILL and SIGSTOP the action is "always", not just "default".
310 * (*) Special job control effects:
311 * When SIGCONT is sent, it resumes the process (all threads in the group)
312 * from TASK_STOPPED state and also clears any pending/queued stop signals
313 * (any of those marked with "stop(*)"). This happens regardless of blocking,
314 * catching, or ignoring SIGCONT. When any stop signal is sent, it clears
315 * any pending/queued SIGCONT signals; this happens regardless of blocking,
316 * catching, or ignored the stop signal, though (except for SIGSTOP) the
317 * default action of stopping the process may happen later or never.
