Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in
do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals
from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.
In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals
code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.
This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code.
It changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new
recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.
