[PATHC] remove redundant variable in sys_prctl

[Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com>]

The `sig' variable in kernel/sys.c::sys_prctl() is completely
redundant, we might as well get rid of it.
Patch below for review (also attached since gmail's webmail interface
will most certainly mangle the inline one).
