What happens if all that crap is just deleted (I presume from the
bottom of ep_wait()) ?

I'm guessing that on the way back to userspace signal handlers for
signals enabled in the process's current mask (the one specified
to epoll_pwait) get called.
Then the signal mask is loaded from current->saved_sigmask and
and enabled signal handlers are called again.
No special code there that depends on the syscall result, errno
of the syscall number.

That seems exactly correct!
