      sched/headers: Move task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand types and accessors into <linux/sched/signal.h>
      
      task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand are pointers, which would normally make it
      straightforward to not define those types in sched.h.
      
      That is not so, because the types are accompanied by a myriad of APIs (macros and inline
      functions) that dereference them.
      
      Split the types and the APIs out of sched.h and move them into a new header, <linux/sched/signal.h>.
      
      With this change sched.h does not know about 'struct signal' and 'struct sighand' anymore,
      trying to put accessors into sched.h as a test fails the following way:
      
        ./include/linux/sched.h: In function ‘test_signal_types’:
        ./include/linux/sched.h:2461:18: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct signal_struct’
                          ^
      
      This reduces the size and complexity of sched.h significantly.
      
      Update all headers and .c code that relied on getting the signal handling
      functionality from <linux/sched.h> to include <linux/sched/signal.h>.
      
      The list of affected files in the preparatory patch was partly generated by
      grepping for the APIs, and partly by doing coverage build testing, both
      all[yes|mod|def|no]config builds on 64-bit and 32-bit x86, and an array of
      cross-architecture builds.
      
      Nevertheless some (trivial) build breakage is still expected related to rare
      Kconfig combinations and in-flight patches to various kernel code, but most
      of it should be handled by this patch.
