signal: fix __send_signal() false positive kmemcheck warning
This false positive is due to field padding in struct sigqueue. When
this dynamically allocated structure is copied to the stack (in arch-
specific delivery code), kmemcheck sees a read from the padding, which
is, naturally, uninitialized.
Hide the false positive using the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag.
Also made the rlimit override code a bit clearer by introducing a new
variable.
