I think this basically shows that the conversion from do_exit() to
fatal_signal() was just wrong. The "do_exit()" wasn't really a signal,
and can't be treated as such.

That said, instead of reverting, maybe we can just mark the cases
where it really is about sending a synchronous signal, vs sending an
explicitly fatal signal.

It's basically the "true" condition to force_sig_info_to_task(), so
the fix might be just

                action->sa.sa_handler = SIG_DFL;
  -             action->sa.sa_flags |= SA_IMMUTABLE;

                        recalc_sigpending_and_wake(t);

Kyle, does that fix your test-case? And Kees - yours?
