io-wq threads block all signals, except SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. We should not
need any extra checking of signal_pending or fatal_signal_pending, rely
exclusively on whether or not get_signal() tells us to exit.
The original debugging of this issue led to the false positive that we
were exiting on non-fatal signals, but that is not the case. The issue
was around races with nr_workers accounting.

Fixes: 15e20db2e0ce ("io-wq: only exit on fatal signals")

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.
