Subject: [PATCH 328/353] signal: Prevent double-free of user struct
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=cddd4506f6c3f229f53fe39a335aa71759afdac0

[ Upsteam commit 9567db2ebe566a93485e1a27d8759969d0002d7a ]

The way user struct reference counting works changed significantly with,

  fda31c50292a ("signal: avoid double atomic counter increments for user accounting")

Now user structs are only freed once the last pending signal is
dequeued. Make sigqueue_free_current() follow this new convention to
avoid freeing the user struct multiple times and triggering this
warning:

 refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
