[PATCH v2] signal: factor out the kernel reserved si_code check

[Bradley Morgan]

The check that prevents userspace from sending siginfo with si_code
values reserved to the kernel is duplicated across do_rt_sigqueueinfo(),
do_rt_tgsigqueueinfo() and do_pidfd_send_signal(). Move the check
into a helper so the rule lives in one place.
