[PATCH] unshare: Use rcu_assign_pointer when setting sighand
The sighand pointer only needs the rcu_read_lock on the read side. So only depending on task_lock protection when setting this pointer is not enough. We also need a memory barrier to ensure the initialization is seen first. Use rcu_assign_pointer as it does this for us, and clearly documents that we are setting an rcu readable pointer.
