I am still not sure cond_resched() makes any sense here...

No need, copy_signal() does zalloc().

You can just use do_send_sig_info() and remove sighand/flags/spin_lock_irqsave.
Perhaps the "likely" predump_signal==0 check at the start makes sense to avoid
read_lock(tasklist).
And I'd suggest to move it into coredump.c and make it static. It won't have
another user.
