Subject[PATCH] tty: fix leakage of -ERESTARTSYS to userland
Spotted by Satoru Takeuchi.

kill_pgrp(task_pgrp(current)) sends the signal to the current's thread group,
but can choose any sub-thread as a target for signal_wake_up(). This means
that job_control() and tty_check_change() may return -ERESTARTSYS without
signal_pending().
