Subject[PATCH 2/4] signal: Make flush_sigqueue() use free_q to release memory
Date
It was found that if a process had many pending signals (e.g. millions),
the act of exiting that process might cause its parent to have a hard
lockup especially on a debug kernel with features like KASAN enabled.
It was because the flush_sigqueue() was called in release_task() with
tasklist_lock held and irq disabled.

[ 3133.105601] NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 37

[ All the "?" stack trace entries were removed from above. ]

To avoid this dire condition and reduce lock hold time of tasklist_lock,
flush_sigqueue() is modified to pass in a freeing queue pointer so that
the actual freeing of memory objects can be deferred until after the
tasklist_lock is released and irq re-enabled.
