    sched/headers: Move task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand types and accessors into <linux/sched/signal.h>
    
    task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand are pointers, which would normally make it
    straightforward to not define those types in sched.h.
    
    That is not so, because the types are accompanied by a myriad of APIs (macros and inline
    functions) that dereference them.
    
    Split the types and the APIs out of sched.h and move them into a new header, <linux/sched/signal.h>.
    
    With this change sched.h does not know about 'struct signal' and 'struct sighand' anymore,
    trying to put accessors into sched.h as a test fails the following way:
    
      ./include/linux/sched.h: In function ‘test_signal_types’:
      ./include/linux/sched.h:2461:18: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct signal_struct’
                        ^
    
    This reduces the size and complexity of sched.h significantly.
    
    Update all headers and .c code that relied on getting the signal handling
    functionality from <linux/sched.h> to include <linux/sched/signal.h>.
    
    The list of affected files in the preparatory patch was partly generated by
    grepping for the APIs, and partly by doing coverage build testing, both
    all[yes|mod|def|no]config builds on 64-bit and 32-bit x86, and an array of
    cross-architecture builds.
    
    Nevertheless some (trivial) build breakage is still expected related to rare
    Kconfig combinations and in-flight patches to various kernel code, but most
    of it should be handled by this patch.
