nfsd: treat all shutdown signals as equivalent



knfsd currently uses 2 signal masks when processing requests. A "loose"
mask (SHUTDOWN_SIGS) that it uses when receiving network requests, and
then a more "strict" mask (ALLOWED_SIGS, which is just SIGKILL) that it
allows when doing the actual operation on the local storage.

This is apparently unnecessarily complicated. The underlying filesystem
should be able to sanely handle a signal in the middle of an operation.
This patch removes the signal mask handling from knfsd altogether. When
knfsd is started as a kthread, all signals are ignored. It then allows
all of the signals in SHUTDOWN_SIGS. There's no need to set the mask
as well.
