    kernel - Fix signal masking race assertion panic w/vkernel
    
    * sigsuspend() and pselect() record the old signal mask in order to
      allow an interrupting signal to run its handler before the old mask
      is restored.
    
    * When multiple threads are present a race can ensue where another thread
      changes the signal handler after sigsuspend() or pselect() have interrupted,
      but before they are able to process the signal.
    
    * If the signal is no longer enabled the old signal mask is not restored
      on system call return, resulting in an assertion and panic.
    
    * Fix the problem by checking the flag and restoring the old signal mask
      on return (rather than asserting when the flag is found to be non-zero
      on return).
