The intent was that if we get woken up and signal_pending() is true, then
we want to restart it if we're just doing TIF_SIGNAL_NOTIFY. But I guess
it can't be 100% reliable, even if TIF_SIGPENDING isn't set at this point,
but it is by the time a signal is attempted dequeued.

I'll drop these too, thanks Oleg.
