[PATCH] copy_process: cleanup bad_fork_cleanup_sighand

Browse source 
The only caller of exit_sighand(tsk) is copy_process's error path.  We can
call __exit_sighand() directly and kill exit_sighand().

This 'tsk' was not yet registered in pid_hash[] or init_task.tasks, it has no
external references, nobody can see it, and

	IF (clone_flags & CLONE_SIGHAND)
		At least 'current' has a reference to ->sighand, this
		means atomic_dec_and_test(sighand->count) can't be true.

	ELSE
		Nobody can see this ->sighand, this means we can free it
		without any locking.
