Subject: signal: cleanup sys_rt_sigprocmask()
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
sys_rt_sigprocmask() looks unnecessarily complicated, simplify it. We can
just read current->blocked lockless unconditionally before anything else
and then copy-to-user it if needed. At worst we copy 4 words on mips.
We could copy-to-user the old mask first and simplify the code even more,
but the patch tries to keep the current behaviour: we change
current->block even if copy_to_user(oset) fails.
