[PATCH] Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386

Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled:

        [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc
        [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend

It does the following:

 (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386.

 (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set.

 (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved
     in current->saved_sigmask.

 (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead.

 (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
     rather than attempting to fudge the return registers.

 (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping
     intrinsically.

 (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or
     -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the
     kernel.

Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one plac...
