Let's update the documentation that any signal is sufficient, and add a comment that not only checking for fatal signals is historical baggage: changing it now could break existing user space. although unlikely. For example, when an app provides a custom SIGALRM handler and triggers memory offlining, the timeout cmd would no longer stop memory offlining, because SIGALRM would no longer be considered a fatal signal. Note that using signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending() is an anti-pattern, but slowly deprecating that behavior to eventually change it in the far future is probably not worth the effort. If this ever becomes relevant for user-space, we might want to rethink.
