task_work: only grab task signal lock when needed

Browse source 
If JOBCTL_TASK_WORK is already set on the targeted task, then we need
not go through {lock,unlock}_task_sighand() to set it again and queue
a signal wakeup. This is safe as we're checking it _after_ adding the
new task_work with cmpxchg().

The ordering is as follows:

task_work_add()				get_signal()
--------------------------------------------------------------
STORE(task->task_works, new_work);	STORE(task->jobctl);
mb();					mb();
LOAD(task->jobctl);			LOAD(task->task_works);

This speeds up TWA_SIGNAL handling quite a bit, which is important now
that io_uring is relying on it for all task_work deliveries.
