Subject: [PATCH] Reset signal-mask on re-exec to init=..

Process 1 (aka init) needs to be started with an empty signal mask.
That includes the process 1 that's started after the initrd is finished.
When the initrd is using systemd (as it does with dracut based initrds)
then it is systemd that calls the real init.  Normally this is systemd
again, except when the user uses for instance "init=/bin/bash" on the
kernel command line.

(cherry picked from commit 5a85ca1cb622fda4a39c8a6f00dccea7f8a1e82a)
(cherry picked from commit 3eb31d88fd664d55251102d8504d05426a97d0b3)
