When returning from schedule_tail(), is it still necessary to check
for (_TIF_SIGPENDING | _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME) before resuming task ?

Well.. since the semantics of signals are defined as being delivered
when a process returns from the kernel, how would you avoid checking
for a pending signal and still maintain the semantics?

schedule_tail() is called for a task that has just been created, hence
the reason why I asked whether for such as newly created task, is it
necessary to check for (_TIF_SIGPENDING | _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME) ?
