[PATCH V5 04/10] fork: Add KERNEL_WORKER flag to ignore signals

[Mike Christie]

From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since this is mirroring kthread's sig ignore api introduced in

commit 10ab825bdef8 ("change kernel threads to ignore signals instead of
blocking them")

this patch adds an option flag, KERNEL_WORKER_SIG_IGN, handled in
copy_process() after copy_sighand() and copy_signals() to ease the
transition from kthreads to this new api.
