I.e. I propose the patch below as the v4.11 solution.

The two dependency quirks are not very elegant, plus to add insult to injury we
now revert to the original situation in v4.10 where wait.h includes sched/signal.h
and sched/signal.h includes wait.h (which the header guards sort out properly),
but it appears to build fine here in (still very light, x86-defconfig) build
testing.

Note that there's some dependency fallout from the cred.h change, but it's all
correctly adding a dependency for types/APIs that are defined in cred.h - i.e.
it's improving things in that regard. (Could split this patch into two patches:
first the cred.h change, then the signal types hack.)

I'll do more testing over the day to see how well this approach works. Not yet
signed off by me. I'll post updated versions over the day if there's any changes.

This removes the time pressure to untangle the wait.h mess for v4.11.

Thanks,

Ingo
