exec: simplify the new ->sighand allocation
de_thread() pre-allocates newsighand to make sure that exec() can't fail after killing all sub-threads. Imho, this buys nothing, but complicates the code: - this is (mostly) needed to handle CLONE_SIGHAND without CLONE_THREAD tasks, this is very unlikely (if ever used) case - unless we already have some serious problems, GFP_KERNEL allocation should not fail - ENOMEM still can happen after de_thread(), ->sighand is not the last object we have to allocate Change the code to allocate the new ->sighand on demand.
