RE: [Compatibilty patch] sigtimedwait

[Zou, Nanhai]

compat_siginfo_t is a better name.
However the structure siginfo_32t is used in other places in 5 arches
expect ppc64.
I think rename them in this patch will make the patch too big and not so
straightforward.
Maybe we can rename it in another separate patch.
