signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_from_user32
The function copy_siginfo_from_user32 is used for two things, in ptrace since the dawn of siginfo for arbirarily modifying a signal that user space sees, and in sigqueueinfo to send a signal with arbirary siginfo data. Create a single copy of copy_siginfo_from_user32 that all architectures share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in the siginfo union. In the generic version of copy_siginfo_from_user32 ensure that all of the fields in siginfo are initialized so that the siginfo structure can be safely copied to userspace if necessary. When copying the embedded sigval union copy the si_int member. That ensures the 32bit values passes through the kernel unchanged. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
