Subject[PATCH RESEND 08/11] signals: kill the obsolete sigdelset() and recalc_sigpending() in allow_signal()
allow_signal() does sigdelset(current->blocked) due to historic
reason, previously it could be called by a daemonize()'ed kthread,
and daemonize() played with current->blocked.

Now that daemonize() has gone away we can remove sigdelset() and
recalc_sigpending(). If a user really wants to unblock a signal,
it must use sigprocmask() or set_current_block() explicitely.
