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().
