[PATCH v2 3/7] signal: retarget_shared_pending: optimizewhile_each_thread() loop

[Oleg Nesterov]

retarget_shared_pending() blindly does recalc_sigpending_and_wake() for
every sub-thread, this is suboptimal. We can check t->blocked and stop
looping once every bit in shared_pending has the new target.

Note: we do not take task_is_stopped_or_traced(t) into account, we are
not trying to speed up the signal delivery or to avoid the unnecessary
(but harmless) signal_wake_up(0) in this unlikely case.
