This looks obviously wrong. Say, schedule() in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE should
not block if TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set.
With this change set_notify_signal() will not force the task to return
from wait_event_interruptible, mutex_lock_interruptible, etc.

This looks unnecessary,

This too.
IMO, this patch should do s/signal_pending/task_sigpending/ only if it is
strictly needed for correctness.
