[lm-sensors] [PATCH v2 6/7] sensord: Use sigaction() for signal handlers

[Andre Prendel]

Replace the deprecated signal() function by sigaction().

The signal() function has some disadvantages. This patch replaces
signal() by sigaction() to install the signal handlers.

Changes in v2:

Zero sigaction structure.
