Might as well just use 1 and 2 for subclass at this point, or use
SIGLOCK_LOCK_FIRST below.

Indent fail above ^, also you likey need this:

		/*
		 * Since [pt]_sighand will likely change if we go
		 * around, and m_sighand is the only one held, make sure
		 * it is subclass-0, since the above 's1 != m_sighand'
		 * clause very much relies on that.
		 */
		lock_set_subclass(&m_sighand->siglock, 0, _RET_IP_);
