[ Upstream commit f5f4fc4649ae542b1a25670b17aaf3cbb6187acc ]
Sergei and John both reported that ia64 failed to boot in 5.11, and it
was related to signals. Turns out the ia64 signal handling is a bit odd,
it doesn't check the return value of get_signal() for whether there's a
signal to deliver or not. With the introduction of TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL,
then task_work could trigger it.
Fix it by only calling handle_signal() if we actually have a real signal
to deliver. This brings it in line with all other archs, too.

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.
