[PATCH v3 12/15] smack: Remove redundant pdeath_signal clearing

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jul 18 2017 - 18:28:10 EST


This removes the redundant pdeath_signal clearing in Smack: the check in
smack_bprm_committing_creds() matches the check in smack_bprm_set_creds()
(which used to be in the now-removed smack_bprm_securexec() hook) and
since secureexec is now being checked for clearing pdeath_signal, this
is redundant to the common exec code.
