You want fatal_signal_pending() here, instead of inventing your own broken
version.

But really this smells like a bug in wait_event_killable, since
wait_event_interruptible does not suffer from the same bug. It will return
immediately when there's a signal pending.

I think this should be fixed in core code, not papered over in some
subsystem.
