task_work: unconditionally run task_work from get_signal()
Song reported a boot regression in a kvm image with 5.11-rc, and bisected it down to the below patch. Debugging this issue, turns out that the boot stalled when a task is waiting on a pipe being released. As we no longer run task_work from get_signal() unless it's queued with TWA_SIGNAL, the task goes idle without running the task_work. This prevents ->release() from being called on the pipe, which another boot task is waiting on. For now, re-instate the unconditional task_work run from get_signal(). For 5.12, we'll collapse TWA_RESUME and TWA_SIGNAL, as it no longer makes sense to have a distinction between the two. This will turn task_work notification into a simple boolean, whether to notify or not.
