[PATCH 5/9] signal: Protect parent child relationships by childs siglock

The functions ptrace_stop and do_signal_stop have to drop siglock
and grab tasklist_lock because the parent/child relation ship
is guarded by siglock and not siglock.
Simplify things by guarding the parent/child relationship
with siglock. For the most part this just requires a little bit
of code motion. In a couple of places more locking was needed.
After this change tsk->parent, tsk->real_parent, tsk->ptrace tsk->ptracer_cred
are all protected by tsk->siglock.
The fields tsk->sibling and tsk->ptrace_entry are mostly protected by
tsk->siglock. The field tsk->ptrace_entry is not protected by siglock
when tsk->ptrace_entry is reused as the dead task list. The field
tsk->sibling is not protected by siglock when children are reparented
because their original parent dies.
