Thanks Matt.

Of course, it needs. From 0/7:

	Once again: if we need this, then we need a lot more (trivial) changes
	like 6/7 and 7/7. Basically every change of ->blocked should be converted
	to use set_current_blocked().

6 and 7 are simple examples, most of the other changes will look similary.

Except sys_rt_sigtimedwait(), it changes both ->real_blocked and blocked,
see the patches I sent. sys_sigprocmask() is a bit annoying, but the
necessary changes are simple.
