sched/headers: Prepare to remove the <linux/mm_types.h> dependency from <linux/sched.h>

Update code that relied on sched.h including various MM types for them.

This will allow us to remove the <linux/mm_types.h> include from <linux/sched.h>.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/signal.h>

We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

lib/is_single_threaded.c: change current_is_single_threaded() to use for_each_thread()

Change current_is_single_threaded() to use for_each_thread() rather than
deprecated while_each_thread().

kernel: is_current_single_threaded: don't use ->mmap_sem

is_current_single_threaded() can safely miss a freshly forked CLONE_VM
task, but in this case it must not miss its parent. That is why we take
mm->mmap_sem for writing to make sure a thread/task with the same ->mm
can't pass exit_mm() and disappear.

However we can avoid ->mmap_sem and rely on rcu/barriers:

- if we do not see the exiting parent on thread/process list
we see the result of list_del_rcu(), in this case we must
also see the result of list_add_rcu() which does wmb().

- if we do see the parent but its ->mm == NULL, we need rmb()
to make sure we can't miss the child.

kernel: rename is_single_threaded(task) to current_is_single_threaded(void)

- is_single_threaded(task) is not safe unless task == current,
we can't use task->signal or task->mm.

- it doesn't make sense unless task == current, the task can
fork right after the check.

Rename it to current_is_single_threaded() and kill the argument.

kernel: fix is_single_threaded

- Fix the comment, is_single_threaded(p) actually means that nobody shares
->mm with p.

I think this helper should be renamed, and it should not have arguments.
With or without this patch it must not be used unless p == current,
otherwise we can't safely use p->signal or p->mm.

- "if (atomic_read(&p->signal->count) != 1)" is not right when we have a
zombie group leader, use signal->live instead.

- Add PF_KTHREAD check to skip kernel threads which may borrow p->mm,
otherwise we can return the wrong "false".

- Use for_each_process() instead of do_each_thread(), all threads must use
the same ->mm.

- Use down_write(mm->mmap_sem) + rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock
to iterate over the process list. If there is another CLONE_VM process
it can't pass exit_mm() which takes the same mm->mmap_sem. We can miss
a freshly forked CLONE_VM task, but this doesn't matter because we must
see its parent and return false.

CRED: Rename is_single_threaded() to is_wq_single_threaded()

Rename is_single_threaded() to is_wq_single_threaded() so that a new
is_single_threaded() can be created that refers to tasks rather than
waitqueues.
