Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/7][v4] Remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functions

Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments
from Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258).

The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions.
Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the
functions can check the handler if they later need to.

Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on
patch.
