The max usable signal number is limited by both _NSIG and task's
exit_code, and the max valid signal number encoded in task's
exit_code is 127. On the other hand _NSIG is normally power of 2,
so limit the rule in valid_signal to check a valid signal number.

A quick look reveals this only affects mips.

If you have copied that silliness from mips for your new architecture
I would advise against it.  That just seems to make sigset_t twice
as big as it needs to be for no good reason.

What seems reasonable is to fix mips to only support 127 signals (with
the same sigset_t size) and to add "BUILD_BUG_ON(_NSIG <= 127);" along
with your comment somewhere in kernel/signal.c
