From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 7cfe7a09489c1cefee7181e07b5f2bcbaebd9f41 upstream. With how task_work is added and signaled, we can have TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL set and no task_work pending as it got run in a previous loop. Treat TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL like get_signal(), always clear it if set regardless of whether or not task_work is pending to run.
