The patch titled
     Subject: signals: disallow_signal() should flush the potentially pending signal
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     signals-disallow_signal-should-flush-the-potentially-pending-signal.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: signals: disallow_signal() should flush the potentially pending signal

disallow_signal() simply sets SIG_IGN, this is not enough and
recalc_sigpending() is simply pointless because in can never change the
state of TIF_SIGPENDING.

If we ignore a signal, we also need to do flush_sigqueue_mask() for the
case when this signal is pending, this way recalc_sigpending() can
actually clear TIF_SIGPENDING and we do not "leak" the allocated
siginfo's.
