signal: Introduce copy_siginfo_from_user and use it's return value

In preparation for using a smaller version of siginfo in the kernel introduce copy_siginfo_from_user and use it when siginfo is copied from userspace. Make the pattern for using copy_siginfo_from_user and copy_siginfo_from_user32 to capture the return value and return that value on error. This is a necessary prerequisite for using a smaller siginfo in the kernel than the kernel exports to userspace. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>
