Subject: signals: clean dequeue_signal from excess checks and assignments
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@xxxxxxxxxx>

The signr variable may be declared without initialization - it is set ro the
return value from __dequeue_signal() right at the function beginning.

Besides, after recalc_sigpending() two checks for signr to be not 0 may be
merged into one.  Both if-s become easier to read.

Thanks to Oleg for pointing out mistakes in the first version of this patch.
