signal: do_sigtimedwait() needs retarget_shared_pending()
do_sigtimedwait() changes current->blocked and thus it needs set_current_blocked()->retarget_shared_pending(). We could use set_current_blocked() directly. It is fine to change ->real_blocked from all-zeroes to ->blocked and vice versa lockless, but this is not immediately clear, looks racy, and needs a huge comment to explain why this is correct. To keep the things simple this patch adds the new static helper, __set_task_blocked() which should be called with ->siglock held. This way we can change both ->real_blocked and ->blocked atomically under ->siglock as the current code does. This is more understandable.
