OK, but given that this function is "far" from copy_signal() path
and it is not inline, perhaps it makes sense to add the comment which
explains *sig must be zeroed, and the only caller is copy_signal().


Hmm. Off-topic, but why do we take ->siglock? ->audit_tty is boolean,
afaics ->siglock buys nothing.
