exit: kill the pointless __exit_signal()->clear_tsk_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING)
It predates the git history and most probably it was never needed. It
doesn't really hurt, but it looks confusing because its purpose is not
clear at all.

release_task(p) is called when this task has already passed exit_notify()
so signal_pending(p) == T shouldn't make any difference.

And even _if_ there were a subtle reason to clear TIF_SIGPENDING after
exit_notify(), this clear_tsk_thread_flag() can't help anyway.  If the
exiting task is a group leader or if it is ptraced, release_task() will
be likely called when this task has already done its last schedule() from
do_task_dead().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
