[PATCH] copy_process(): Move fd_install() out of sighand->siglock critical section

[Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>]

I was made aware of the following lockdep splat:

One way to solve this problem is to move the fd_install() call out of
the sighand->siglock critical section.

Before commit 6fd2fe494b17 ("copy_process(): don't use ksys_close()
on cleanups"), the pidfd installation was done without holding both
the task_list lock and the sighand->siglock. Obviously, holding these
two locks are not really needed to protect the fd_install() call.
So move the fd_install() call down to after the releases of both locks.

Fixes: 6fd2fe494b17 ("copy_process(): don't use ksys_close() on cleanups")
