Subject: INIT_SIGHAND: use SIG_DFL instead of NULL
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Cosmetic, no changes in the compiled code. Just s/NULL/SIG_DFL/ to make
it more readable and grep-friendly.

Note: probably SIG_IGN makes more sense, we could kill ignore_signals().
But then kernel_init() should do flush_signal_handlers() before exec().
