sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h>

The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
<linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
from <linux/sched/signal.h>.

That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927

 "Pull overlayfs updates
from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).

It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
__wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
function is the right thing to do.

Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
set of helper functions.

We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
the annoying header dependency.
