check_unshare_flags: kill the bogus CLONE_SIGHAND/sig->count check
check_unshare_flags(CLONE_SIGHAND) adds CLONE_THREAD to *flags_ptr if the task is multithreaded to ensure unshare_thread() will fail. Not only this is a bit strange way to return the error, this is absolutely meaningless. If signal->count > 1 then sighand->count must be also > 1, and unshare_sighand() will fail anyway. In fact, all CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM checks inside sys_unshare() do not look right. Fortunately this code doesn't really work anyway.
