Subject: [PATCH] pthread_sigmask: check 'how' only when 'set' is not NULL

According to POSIX document

    If set is a null pointer, the value of the argument how is not
    significant and the thread's signal mask shall be unchanged; thus
    the call can be used to enquire about currently blocked signals.

This is also how the current Linux kernel syscall is doing.  So the
following function call from binutils-gdb should not fail

    sigprocmask (0,  NULL, &original_signal_mask);
