Oleg Nesterov 6b3934ef52 [PATCH] copy_process: cleanup bad_fork_cleanup_signal 
__exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock.  It is
also called from copy_process's error path.  This is not good, for example we
can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason.

We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under
'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label.  For copy_process() case it is sufficient
to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more.

Again, nobody can see this task yet.  For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement
signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it
lockless.

This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without
tasklist_lock.
