The original commit 43347d56c8d9dd732cee2 ("livepatch: send a fake
signal to all blocking tasks") did also:

We could/should remove the include now.

Otherwise, it looks good to me. Well, I do not feel to be expert
in this are. Anyway, feel free to add:

[PATCH] livepatch: Replace the fake signal sending with TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL infrastructure

[Miroslav Benes]

Livepatch sends a fake signal to all remaining blocking tasks of a
running transition after a set period of time. It uses TIF_SIGPENDING
flag for the purpose. Commit 12db8b690010 ("entry: Add support for
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL") added a generic infrastructure to achieve the same.
Replace our bespoke solution with the generic one.
