As mentioned in the other reply, this is actually a nice step towards
NOT having that be the case. Right now we have TWA_RESUME, which uses
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. Once all archs support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL, then we can
totally drop TWA_NOTIFY resume, and use use TWA_SIGNAL as the default
for notify == true task_work users. And we can drop task_work noticing
and running in the signal handling as well, leaving us with only having
tracehook_notify_signal() running the task_work.
