A regression caused by 854a6ed56839 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()")
caused users of epoll_pwait, io_pgetevents, and ppoll to notice a
latent problem in signal handling during these syscalls.
That patch (854a6ed56839) moved the signal_pending() check closer
to restoring of the user sigmask. But, it failed to update the error
code accordingly. From the userspace perspective, the patch increased
the time window for the signal discovery and subsequent delivery to the
userspace, but did not always adjust the errno afterwards. The behavior
before 854a6ed56839a was that the signals were dropped after the error
code was decided. This resulted in lost signals but the userspace did not
notice it as the syscalls had finished executing the core functionality
and the error codes returned notified success.
For all the syscalls that receive a sigmask from the userland,
the user sigmask is to be in effect through the syscall execution.
At the end of syscall, sigmask of the current process is restored
to what it was before the switch over to user sigmask.
But, for this to be true in practice, the sigmask should be restored
only at the the point we change the saved_sigmask. Anything before
that loses signals. And, anything after is just pointless as the
signal is already lost by restoring the sigmask.

Note that this patch returns interrupted errors (EINTR, ERESTARTNOHAND,
etc) only when there is no other error. If there is a signal and an error
like EINVAL, the syscalls return -EINVAL rather than the interrupted
error codes.
