kernel: Remove signal hacks for vhost_tasks

Browse Source 
This removes the signal/coredump hacks added for vhost_tasks in:

Commit f9010dbdce ("fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression")

When that patch was added vhost_tasks did not handle SIGKILL and would
try to ignore/clear the signal and continue on until the device's close
function was called. In the previous patches vhost_tasks and the vhost
drivers were converted to support SIGKILL by cleaning themselves up and
exiting. The hacks are no longer needed so this removes them.
