sched: fix TASK_WAKEKILL vs SIGKILL race
schedule() has the special "TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE && signal_pending()" case, this allows us to do current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE; schedule(); without fear to sleep with pending signal. However, the code like current->state = TASK_KILLABLE; schedule(); is not right, schedule() doesn't take TASK_WAKEKILL into account. This means that mutex_lock_killable(), wait_for_completion_killable(), down_killable(), schedule_timeout_killable() can miss SIGKILL (and btw the second SIGKILL has no effect). Introduce the new helper, signal_pending_state(), and change schedule() to use it. Hopefully it will have more users, that is why the task's state is passed separately. Note this "__TASK_STOPPED | __TASK_TRACED" check in signal_pending_state(). This is needed to preserve the current behaviour (ptrace_notify). I hope this check will be removed soon, but this (afaics good) change needs the separate discussion. The fast path is "(state & (INTERRUPTIBLE | WAKEKILL)) + signal_pending(p)", basically the same that schedule() does now. However, this patch of course bloats schedule().
