Subject: um: Fix get_signal() usage

commit db2f24dc240856fb1d78005307f1523b7b3c121b upstream.

If get_signal() returns us a signal to post
we must not call it again, otherwise the already
posted signal will be overridden.
Before commit a610d6e672d this was the case as we stopped
the while after a successful handle_signal().

Fixes: a610d6e672d ("pull clearing RESTORE_SIGMASK into block_sigmask()")
