Subject: [PATCH] riscv: fix a nasty sigreturn bug...

riscv has an equivalent of arm bug fixed by 653d48b22166 ("arm: fix really nasty sigreturn bug"); if signal gets caught by an interrupt that hits when we have the right value in a0 (-513), *and* another signal gets delivered upon sigreturn() (e.g. included into the blocked mask for the first signal and posted while the handler had been running), the syscall restart logics will see regs->cause equal to EXC_SYSCALL (we are in a syscall, after all) and a0 already restored to its original value (-513, which happens to be -ERESTARTNOINTR) and assume that we need to apply the usual syscall restart logics.
