[PATCH] vgaarb: fix signal handling in vga_get()

There are few defects in vga_get() related to signal hadning:

  - we shouldn't check for pending signals for TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
    case;

  - if we found pending signal we must remove ourself from wait queue
    and change task state back to running;

  - -ERESTARTSYS is more appropriate, I guess.

Alex, I try to get KVM with VGA passthrough working properly. I have i915
(HD 4600) on the host and GTX 580 for the guest. The guest GPU is not
capabale of EFI, so I have to use x-vga=on. It's kinda work with your
patch for i915.enable_hd_vgaarb=1. But guest refuse to initialize the GPU
after KVM was not shut down correctly, resulting in host crash like this:

The patch fixes the crash, but doesn't help with getting GPU in guest
working again.

Any ideas?
