According to create_thread(3): "The new thread does not inherit the creating thread's alternate signal stack". Since commit f9a3879a (Fix sigaltstack corruption among cloned threads), current->sas_ss_size is set to 0 for cloned processes sharing VM with their parent. Don't use the (nonexistent) alternate signal stack in this case. Fixes the SA_ONSTACK part of the nptl/tst-cancel20 test from uClibc. Also fix a checkpatch.pl error, while at it.
