sig_task_ignored(force => true) returns false unless sig_kernel_ignore(). This makes no sense if !sig_kernel_only(), the signal will be dropped in get_signal() anyway.
This patch simplifies the next change and allows us to do more cleanups, in particular we can unify the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE/sig_kernel_only() check in sig_task_ignored() and get_signal(). The user-visible change is that, since we drop the SIG_DFL signal early, it won't be reported to debugger. I think this is fine, but probably we will change this later, we need to fix this logic anyway. Currently we rely on the fact that (say) send_sigtrap() uses force_sig_info() which clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, and this is really bad.
