mq_notify: block all (application) signals in the worker thread
until the mq notification event arrives, it is mandatory that signals be blocked. otherwise, a signal can be received, and its handler executed, in a thread which does not yet exist on the abstract machine. after the point of the event arriving, having signals blocked is not a conformance requirement but a QoI requirement. while the application can unblock any signals it wants unblocked in the event handler thread, if they did not start out blocked, it could not block them without a race window where they are momentarily unblocked, and this would preclude controlled delivery or other forms of acceptance (sigwait, etc.) anywhere in the application.
