I am curious what the call path that is problematic here.

In general waiting seems wrong when the process has already been
fatally killed as indicated by PF_SIGNALED.

Returning -ERESTARTSYS seems wrong as nothing should make it back even
to the edge of userspace here.

Given that this is the only use of PF_SIGNALED outside of bsd process
accounting I find this code very suspicious.

It looks the code path that gets called during exit is buggy and needs
to be sorted out.
