signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to reciever

Based on discussion with Jiri and Roland.

In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to
p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes
running.

handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify
the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop().  This leads to multiple problems:

	- as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without
	  actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler.

	- we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in
	  that window.

	- we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
	  in that window.

	- we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT.

With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED
flag in p->signal->flags and returns.  The notification is sent by the first
task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any
other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver().

This is a user-visible change.  Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child)
can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed
unpredictably.  Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another
process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach()
while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this
notification.  Hopefully not a problem.

The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.
