The patch titled
     Subject: signals: cleanup the usage of t/current in do_sigaction()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     signals-cleanup-the-usage-of-t-current-in-do_sigaction.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
Subject: signals: cleanup the usage of t/current in do_sigaction()

The usage of "task_struct *t" and "current" in do_sigaction() looks really
annoying and chaotic.  Initially "t" is used as a cached value of current
but not consistently, then it is reused as a loop variable and we have to
use "current" again.

Clean up this mess and also convert the code to use for_each_thread().
