sched: fix TASK_WAKEKILL vs SIGKILL race

schedule() has the special "TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE && signal_pending()" case,
this allows us to do

	current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
	schedule();

without fear to sleep with pending signal.

However, the code like

	current->state = TASK_KILLABLE;
	schedule();

is not right, schedule() doesn't take TASK_WAKEKILL into account. This means
that mutex_lock_killable(), wait_for_completion_killable(), down_killable(),
schedule_timeout_killable() can miss SIGKILL (and btw the second SIGKILL has
no effect).

Introduce the new helper, signal_pending_state(), and change schedule() to
use it. Hopefully it will have more users, that is why the task's state is
passed separately.

Note this "__TASK_STOPPED | __TASK_TRACED" check in signal_pending_state().
This is needed to preserve the current behaviour (ptrace_notify). I hope
this check will be removed soon, but this (afaics good) change needs the
separate discussion.

The fast path is "(state & (INTERRUPTIBLE | WAKEKILL)) + signal_pending(p)",
basically the same that schedule() does now. However, this patch of course
bloats schedule().
