commit ddc204b517e60ae64db34f9832dc41dafa77c751 upstream.
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.
