[PATCH] copy_process: cleanup bad_fork_cleanup_sighand
The only caller of exit_sighand(tsk) is copy_process's error path. We can
call __exit_sighand() directly and kill exit_sighand().
This 'tsk' was not yet registered in pid_hash[] or init_task.tasks, it has no
external references, nobody can see it, and
IF (clone_flags & CLONE_SIGHAND)
At least 'current' has a reference to ->sighand, this
means atomic_dec_and_test(sighand->count) can't be true.
ELSE
Nobody can see this ->sighand, this means we can free it
without any locking.
