PATCH RESEND 1/1 ptrace: take into account saved_sigmask in PTRACE_{GET,SET}SIGMASK

There are a few system calls (pselect, ppoll, etc) which replace a task sigmask while they are running in a kernel-space

When a task calls one of these syscalls, the kernel saves a current sigmask in task->saved_sigmask and sets a syscall sigmask.

On syscall-exit-stop, ptrace traps a task before restoring the saved_sigmask, so PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns the syscall sigmask and PTRACE_SETSIGMASK does nothing, because its sigmask is replaced by saved_sigmask, when the task returns to user-space.

This patch fixes this problem. PTRACE_GET_SIGMASK returns saved_sigmask is it's set. PTRACE_SETSIGMASK drops the TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag.

Fixes 29000caecbe8 ("ptrace: add ability to get/set signal-blocked mask")

If it's not too late, could somebody tweak the commit message so that PTRACE_GET_SIGMASK becomes PTRACE_GETSIGMASK and "is it's set" is changed to "if it's set", please?

I made those changes to my copy.
