[PATCH] copy_process: cleanup bad_fork_cleanup_signal
__exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock. It is
also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we
can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason.
We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under
'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient
to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more.
Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement
signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it
lockless.
This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without
tasklist_lock.
