Al Viro 392fb6e354 alpha: unb0rk sigsuspend() and rt_sigsuspend() ...

Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right
return value.  Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND
was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we
hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will
step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1.
The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write.

Testcase:

	#include <signal.h>
	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>

	main()
	{
		sigset_t mask;
		sigemptyset(&mask);
		sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT);
		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL);
		kill(0, SIGCONT);
		syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7);
	}

results on alpha in immediate message to stdout...

Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can
switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers.
Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in
kernel/signal.c now.
