rcu: Replace flush_signals() with WARN_ON(signal_pending())
Currently, when RCU awakens from a wait_event_interruptible() that might have awakened prematurely, it does a flush_signals(). This is done on the off-chance that someone figured out how to deliver a signal to a kthread, which is supposed to be impossible. Given that this is supposed to be impossible, this commit changes the flush_signals() calls into WARN_ON(signal_pending()). Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
