NeilBrown 3903902401 nfsd: don't allow nfsd threads to be signalled.
The original implementation of nfsd used signals to stop threads during
shutdown.
In Linux 2.3.46pre5 nfsd gained the ability to shutdown threads
internally it if was asked to run "0" threads.  After this user-space
transitioned to using "rpc.nfsd 0" to stop nfsd and sending signals to
threads was no longer an important part of the API.

In commit 3ebdbe5203 ("SUNRPC: discard svo_setup and rename
svc_set_num_threads_sync()") (v5.17-rc1~75^2~41) we finally removed the
use of signals for stopping threads, using kthread_stop() instead.

This patch makes the "obvious" next step and removes the ability to
signal nfsd threads - or any svc threads.  nfsd stops allowing signals
and we don't check for their delivery any more.

This will allow for some simplification in later patches.

A change worth noting is in nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul().  There was previously
a signal_pending() check which would only succeed when the thread was
being shut down.  It should really have tested kthread_should_stop() as
well.  Now it just does the latter, not the former.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
