Yes - this patch looks better.
I also am not sure whether the send_sig is still necessary to wake up a
thread blocked in tcp recv_msg (only do a wake_up_process vs. doing a
send_sig(SIGKILL) )
Unless someone knows for sure whether the send_sig is redundant, I would
like to merge Shaggy's version of the patch

Shaggy's suggested patch seems slightly better:
