fork: Add kernel_clone_args flag to ignore signals

Browse source 
Since:

commit 10ab825bde ("change kernel threads to ignore signals instead of
blocking them")

kthreads have been ignoring signals by default, and the vhost layer has
never had a need to change that. This patch adds an option flag,
USER_WORKER_SIG_IGN, handled in copy_process() after copy_sighand()
and copy_signals() so vhost_tasks added in the next patches can continue
to ignore singals.
