Oleg Nesterov aa1757f90b [PATCH] convert sighand_cache to use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU
This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick.

Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it
and re-checked that it is still the same.

But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'.  We can
return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that
sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section.

To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function,
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.
