Smells like broken TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME hookup on sh... Arrrgh. Looks like
while it is in the relevant masks *and* checked in do_notify_resume() both
on 32bit and 64bit variants since commit ab99c733ae73cce31f2a2434f7099564e5a73d95

sh: Make syscall tracer use tracehook notifiers, add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.

they are actually *not* reached without simulataneous SIGPENDING, since the
actual glue in the callers had not been updated back then and still checks
for _TIF_SIGPENDING alone when deciding whether to hit do_notify_resume()
or not. Looks like the following ought to fix that:
