block_all_signals() usage in DRM

Hi!

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_lock.c is the only remaining user of block_all_signals():
/* don't set the block all signals on the master process for now
* really probably not the correct answer but lets us debug xkb
* xserver for now */
if (!file_priv->is_master) {
sigemptyset(&dev->sigmask);
sigaddset(&dev->sigmask, SIGSTOP);
sigaddset(&dev->sigmask, SIGTSTP);
sigaddset(&dev->sigmask, SIGTTIN);
sigaddset(&dev->sigmask, SIGTTOU);
dev->sigdata.context = lock->context;
dev->sigdata.lock = master->lock.hw_lock;
block_all_signals(drm_notifier, dev, &dev->sigmask);
}

Is this functionality still in use/needed?
Otherwise we could get rid of block_all_signals() and unpuzzle the signaling
code a bit. :-)

Thanks,
//richard
