So that the target task will exit the wait_event_interruptible-like loop and call task_work_run() asap. The patch turns "bool notify" into 0,TWA_RESUME,TWA_SIGNAL enum, the new TWA_SIGNAL flag implies signal_wake_up(). However, it needs to avoid the race with recalc_sigpending(), so the patch also adds the new JOBCTL_TASK_WORK bit included in JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK. TODO: once this patch is merged we need to change all current users of task_work_add(notify = true) to use TWA_RESUME.

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.
