signals: set_restore_sigmask TIF_SIGPENDING
Set TIF_SIGPENDING in set_restore_sigmask. This lets arch code take
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK out of the set of bits that will be noticed on return to
user mode. On some machines those bits are scarce, and we can free this
unneeded one up for other uses.
It is probably the case that TIF_SIGPENDING is always set anyway everywhere
set_restore_sigmask() is used. But this is some cheap paranoia in case there
is an arcane case where it might not be.
