signal: Remove the signal number and task parameters from force_sig_info
force_sig_info always delivers to the current task and the signal parameter always matches info.si_signo. So remove those parameters to make it a simpler less error prone interface, and to make it clear that none of the callers are doing anything clever. This guarantees that force_sig_info will not grow any new buggy callers that attempt to call force_sig on a non-current task, or that pass an signal number that does not match info.si_signo.
