Restrict clearing TIF_SIGPENDING

Browse source 
This patch should get a few birds.  It prevents sigaction calls from
clearing TIF_SIGPENDING in other threads, which could leak -ERESTART*.
And It fixes ptrace_stop not to clear it, which done at the syscall exit
stop could leak -ERESTART*.  It probably removes the harm from signalfd,
at least assuming it never calls dequeue_signal on kernel threads that
might have used block_all_signals.
