signals: send_sig_info: don't take tasklist_lock
The comment in send_sig_info() is wrong, tasklist_lock can't help. The caller must ensure the task can't go away, otherwise ->sighand can be NULL even before we take the lock. p->sighand could be changed by exec(), but I can't imagine how it is possible to prevent exit(), but not exec(). Since the things seem to work, I assume all callers are correct. However, drm_vbl_send_signals() looks broken. block_all_signals() which is solely used by drm is definitely broken.
