[PATCH] c/r: piggyback on task->saved_sigmask and drop task->checkpoint_data

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Quoting Oren Laadan (orenl at cs.columbia.edu):
> The field task->checkpoint_data was introduced to hold the saved
> mask of a task so that it could be restored last thing before a
> task returns to userspace.
> 
> Given that we can piggyback on the existing task->saved_sigmask field,
> this patch drops the special checkpoint_data pointer.

Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue at us.ibm.com>

I love dropping tsk->checkpoint_data.

This doesn't address the possibility that we might need to actually
checkpoint the saved_sigmask instead of blocked in certain cases,
of course, I assume that would come in a later patch?
