Re: [PATCH] get_signal: simplify/cleanup the the usage of ksig->info

OK, lets forget about "no need to initialize ksig->info" part for now.

Yes, PF_USER_WORKER's never dereference ksig, but I agree this doesn't
look clean without other cleanups. I'll probably return to this later
when other pending problems with PF_USER_WORKER are fixed.

Wen, thanks again for your review.

Oleg.
