DOS / Prevent crashes due to asynchronous signals

DOS protected mode applications have a nasty habit of crashing every 
now and then when an asynchronous signal is delivered. This patch 
finally cures the bug. The problem was that during interrupt handling,
application calls 16-bit-to-Wine relay using linear code segment. This
makes asynchronous signal handler think that it interrupted application
in 32-bit context and the signal handler did not try to fix FS segment.
Following NtCurrentTeb call would then crash Wine.

Also, for some reason all other asynchronous signals are blocked
in signal handlers, except SIGUSR2 which is used by dosvm to deliver IRQs 
to DOS applications. Since nested signal handling is not needed by DOS 
and it is a likely source of hard to find bugs, this patch blocks
SIGUSR2 in signal handlers.



Changelog:
  When asynchronous signals are blocked, block also SIGUSR2.
  Fix race that made signal handler forget to restore FS register.
