Pull kernel thread signal handling fix from Eric Biederman:
 "I overlooked the fact that kernel threads are created with all signals
  set to SIG_IGN, and accidentally caused a regression in cifs and drbd
  when replacing force_sig with send_sig.

  This is my fix for that regression. I add a new function
  allow_kernel_signal which allows kernel threads to receive signals
  sent from the kernel, but continues to ignore all signals sent from
  userspace. This ensures the user space interface for cifs and drbd
  remain the same.

  These kernel threads depend on blocking networking calls which block
  until something is received or a signal is pending. Making receiving
  of signals somewhat necessary for these kernel threads.

  Perhaps someday we can cleanup those interfaces and remove
  allow_kernel_signal. If not allow_kernel_signal is pretty trivial and
  clearly documents what is going on so I don't think we will mind
  carrying it"
