I have put together a patch that adds a new procsig flag PS_CLDSIGIGN
which could be tested instead of PHOLD'ing the parent; this might
save the IO involved in swapping in a parent whose SIGCHLD handler
is SIG_IGN. I'm not sure if that is a worthwhile saving.

Revision 1.125 of kern_sig.c also fixed an interesting but harmless
bug in do_sigaction(): it got the logic reversed when dealing with
SA_SIGINFO, so it read sa_handler when it should have read sa_sigaction
and vice-versa (sa_sigaction and sa_handler overlay each other in
a union so it is harmless). That bit could have been left intact.
