[PATCH 3/8] Revert "signal: don't allow sending any signals to PF_IO_WORKER threads"

[Jens Axboe]

This reverts commit 5be28c8f85ce99ed2d329d2ad8bdd18ea19473a5.

IO threads now take signals just fine, so there's no reason to limit them
specifically. Revert the change that prevented that from happening.
