Fix a regression introduced by upstream commit fee109901f39
('signal/drbd: Use send_sig not force_sig').
Currently, when a thread is initialized, all signals are set to be
ignored by default. DRBD uses SIGHUP to end its threads, which means it
is now no longer possible to bring down a DRBD resource because the
signals do not make it through to the thread in question.
This circumstance was previously hidden by the fact that DRBD used
force_sig() to kill its threads. The aforementioned upstream commit
changed this to send_sig(), which means the effects of the signals being
ignored by default are now becoming visible.
Thus, issue an allow_signal() at the start of the thread to explicitly
allow the desired signals.
