Make sure SIGKILL gets proper respect



Bhavesh P. Davda <bhavesh@avaya.com> noticed that SIGKILL wouldn't
properly kill a process under just the right cicumstances: a stopped
task that already had another signal queued would get the SIGKILL
queued onto the shared queue, and there it would remain until SIGCONT.

This simplifies the signal acceptance logic, and fixes the bug in the
process.

Losely based on an earlier patch by Bhavesh.
