purpose:
1 sched_lock is very time-consuming, and reducing its invocations can improve performance. 2 sched_lock is prone to misuse, and narrowing its scope of use is to prevent people from referencing incorrect code and using it

test:
We can use qemu for testing.
compiling
make distclean -j20; ./tools/configure.sh -l qemu-armv8a:nsh_smp ;make -j20 running
qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu cortex-a53 -smp 4 -nographic -machine virt,virtualization=on,gic-version=3 -net none -chardev stdio,id=con,mux=on -serial chardev:con -mon chardev=con,mode=readline -kernel ./nuttx

We have also tested this patch on other ARM hardware platforms.

As I commented in #12140 (comment)
You replaced replaced sched_lock with critical section in sig_default.c, so you should create a separate commit for it.
Also, you moved leave_critical_section() into sig_pselect.c and sig_suspend.c, so we need a clearer description for it.
