    fork: Unconditionally exit if a fatal signal is pending · 7673bf55
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    In practice this does not change anything as testing for fatal_signal_pending
    and exiting for with an error code duplicates the work of the next clause
    which recalculates pending signals and then exits fork if any are pending.
    In both cases the pending signal will trigger the slow path when existing
    to userspace, and the fatal signal will cause do_exit to be called.
    
    The advantage of making this a separate test is that it makes it clear
    processing the fatal signal will terminate the fork, and it allows the
    rest of the signal logic to be updated without fear that this important
    case will be lost.
