Subject: [PATCH] signals: cleanup the usage of print_fatal_signal()

Move the callsite of print_fatal_signal() down, under
"if (sig_kernel_coredump(signr))", so we don't need to check signr != SIGKILL.

We are only interested in the sig_kernel_coredump() signals anyway, and due to
the previous changes we almost never can see other fatal signals here except
SIGKILL.

Looks right to me. I'd prefer to see a comment before the added lines
and a blank line after them, though.


Thanks,
