signals: introduce kernel_sigaction()

Now that allow_signal() is really trivial we can unify it with
disallow_signal().  Add the new helper, kernel_sigaction(), and
reimplement allow_signal/disallow_signal as a trivial wrappers.

This saves one EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the new helper can have more users.
