signals: tracehook_notify_jctl change

This changes tracehook_notify_jctl() so it's called with the siglock held,
and changes its argument and return value definition.  These clean-ups
make it a better fit for what new tracing hooks need to check.

Tracing needs the siglock here, held from the time TASK_STOPPED was set,
to avoid potential SIGCONT races if it wants to allow any blocking in its
tracing hooks.

This also folds the finish_stop() function into its caller
do_signal_stop().  The function is short, called only once and only
unconditionally.  It aids readability to fold it in.
