[RFC PATCH 3/5] signal: Always keep real_blocked in sync with blocked

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Fri Jun 07 2019 - 17:47:11 EST



Except where we temporarily override blocked always keep real_blocked
in sync with blocked.

By always setting real_blocked when we set blocked this allows
some slight efficiency and simplifications, by not having
to save blocked.

This also preparse the code for the removal of saved_sigmask. That
should result in a massive simplification.
