We keep running into weird dependency issues between the sqd lock and
the parking state. Disentangle the SQPOLL thread from the last bits of
the kthread parking inheritance, and just replace the parking state,
and two associated locks, with a single rw mutex. The SQPOLL thread
keeps the mutex for read all the time, except if someone has marked us
needing to park. Then we drop/re-acquire and try again.
This greatly simplifies the parking state machine (by just getting rid
of it), and makes it a lot more obvious how it works - if you need to
modify the ctx list, then you simply park the thread which will grab
the lock for writing.
Fold in fix from Hillf Danton on not setting STOP on a fatal signal.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
