Yah, set_current_blocked() inside of block_sigmask() still grabs siglock
and calls recalc_sigpending() for you. Reading current->blocked inside
of block_sigmask() is fine and the sigorsets() is OK because we're
modifying a stack variable, so only grabbing the lock inside of
set_current_blocked() is safe.
