This is a modified version of Linus's patch which has vhost_task
use CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_SIGHAND and allow SIGKILL and SIGSTOP.
I renamed the ignore_signals to block_signals based on Linus's comment
where it aligns with what we are doing with the siginitsetinv
p->blocked use and no longer calling ignore_signals.
