If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

The mainline signal handling code for OpenRISC has been buggy since day
one with respect to syscall restart. This patch significantly reworks
the signal handling code:
i) Move the "work pending" loop to C code (borrowed from ARM arch)
ii) Allow a tracer to muck about with the IP and skip syscall restart
in that case (again, borrowed from ARM)
iii) Make signal handling WRT syscall restart actually work
v) Make the signal handling code look more like that of other
architectures so that it's easier for others to follow

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when
sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).
I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

The pt_regs struct had both a 'syscallno' field and an 'orig_gpr11' field
and it wasn't really clear how these were supposed to be used. This patch
removes the syscallno field altogether and makes orig_gpr11 work more
like other architectures: keep track of syscall number in progress or
hold -1 for non-syscall exceptions.

As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block
is pending in the shared queue.
Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f2
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate
code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this
code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from
happening again.

setup_rt_frame() needs to return an indication of whether it succeeded

get_signal_to_deliver() already resets the signal handler if
SA_ONESHOT is set in ka->sa.sa_flags, there's no need to do it again
in handle_signal(). Furthermore, because we were modifying
ka->sa.sa_handler (which is a copy of sighand->action[]) instead of
sighand->action[] the original code actually had no effect on signal
delivery.

Instead of open coding the sequence from force_sigsegv() just call
it. This also fixes a bug because we were modifying ka->sa.sa_handler
(which is a copy of sighand->action[]), whereas the intention of the
code was to modify sighand->action[] directly.
As the original code was working with a copy it had no effect on
signal delivery.

As it was decided not to export struct pt_regs to userspace, struct
sigcontext shouldn't be using it either. The pt_regs struct for OpenRISC
is kernel internal and the layout of the registers may change in the
future. The struct user_regs_struct is what is guaranteed to remain
stable, so struct sigcontext may use that instead.
This patch removes the usage of struct pt_regs in struct sigcontext and
makes according changes in signal.c to get the register layout right.
The usp field is removed from the sigcontext structure as this information
is already contained in the user_regs_struct.
