signal: protect SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE from unintentional clearing.
[ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34e6d323720d4c61bd714f5ae202c022 ] Since commit 00cd5c3 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we can now trace init processes. init is initially protected with SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can be implicitly cleared. This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing. For example, running: while true; do kill -STOP 1; done & strace -p 1 and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being left in state TASK_STOPPED. Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring them. Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.
