This is fine. See the signal_pending_state() check in __schedule().
And this doesn't differ from wait_event_interruptible(), it too doesn't
check signal_pending(), we rely on schedule() which must not block if the
caller is signalled/killed.
The problem is that it is not clear what should fatal_signal_pending() or
even signal_pending() mean after exit_signals().
