change kernel threads to ignore signals instead of blocking them 

Currently kernel threads use sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK) to protect against
signals.  This doesn't prevent the signal delivery, this only blocks
signal_wake_up().  Every "killall -33 kthreadd" means a "struct siginfo"
leak.

Change kthreadd_setup() to set all handlers to SIG_IGN instead of blocking
them (make a new helper ignore_signals() for that).  If the kernel thread
needs some signal, it should use allow_signal() anyway, and in that case it
should not use CLONE_SIGHAND.

Note that we can't change daemonize() (should die!) in the same way,
because it can be used along with CLONE_SIGHAND.  This means that
allow_signal() still should unblock the signal to work correctly with
daemonize()ed threads.

However, disallow_signal() doesn't block the signal any longer but ignores
it.

NOTE: with or without this patch the kernel threads are not protected from
handle_stop_signal(), this seems harmless, but not good.
