[PATCH 3/3] signalfd: add ability to read siginfo-s without dequeuing signals (v3)

[Andrey Vagin]

pread(fd, buf, size, pos) with non-zero pos returns siginfo-s
without dequeuing signals.

A sequence number and a queue are encoded in pos.

pos = seq + SFD_*_OFFSET

seq is a sequence number of a signal in a queue.

SFD_PER_THREAD_QUEUE_OFFSET - read signals from a per-thread queue.
SFD_SHARED_QUEUE_OFFSET - read signals from a shared (process wide) queue.

This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals.

v2: llseek() can't be used here, because peek_offset/f_pos/whatever
has to be shared with all processes which have this file opened.

Suppose that the task forks after sys_signalfd(). Now if parent or child
do llseek this affects them both. This is insane because signalfd is
"strange" to say at least, fork/dup/etc inherits signalfd_ctx but not
the" source" of the data. // Oleg Nesterov

v3: minor cleanup
