    task_work: Decouple TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work

    There are a small handful of reasons besides pending signals that the
    kernel might want to break out of interruptible sleeps.  The flag
    TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and the helpers that set and clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL
    provide that the infrastructure for breaking out of interruptible
    sleeps and entering the return to user space slow path for those
    cases.

    Expand tracehook_notify_signal inline in it's callers and remove it,
    which makes clear that TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work are separate
    concepts.

    Update the comment on set_notify_signal to more accurately describe
    it's purpose.
