tracehook: force signal_pending()
This defines a new hook tracehook_force_sigpending() that lets tracing code decide to force TIF_SIGPENDING on in recalc_sigpending(). This is not used yet, so it compiles away to nothing for now. It lays the groundwork for new tracing code that can interrupt a task synthetically without actually sending a signal.
