Subject: signal: retarget_shared_pending: consider shared/unblocked signals only
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

exit_signals() checks signal_pending() before retarget_shared_pending()
but this is suboptimal.  We can avoid the while_each_thread() loop in case
when there are no shared signals visible to us.

Add the "shared_pending.signal & ~blocked" check.  We don't use
tsk->blocked directly but pass ~blocked as an argument, this is needed for
the next patch.

Note: we can optimize this more.  while_each_thread(t) can check
t->blocked into account and stop after every pending signal has the new
target, see the next patch.
