Fix the handling of signals in client rxrpc calls made by the afs
filesystem. Ignore signals completely, leaving call abandonment or
connection loss to be detected by timeouts inside AF_RXRPC.
Allowing a filesystem call to be interrupted after the entire request has
been transmitted and an abort sent means that the server may or may not
have done the action - and we don't know. It may even be worse than that
for older servers.
Fixes: bc5e3a546d ("rxrpc: Use MSG_WAITALL to tell sendmsg() to temporarily ignore signals")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
