rcu: rcu_sched_grace_period(): kill the bogus flush_signals()
As a kernel thread, rcu_sched_grace_period() runs with all signals ignored. It can never receive a signal even if it sleeps in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, it needs the explicit allow_signal() to be visible for signals. [ Impact: reduce kernel size, remove dead code ] Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
