Linus Torvalds 10b1fbdb0a Make sure "user->sigpending" count is in sync 
The previous commit (45c18b0bb5, aka "Fix
unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.

It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using.  No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.

Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.

This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.
