[patch] signalfd fix for incorrect SI_QUEUE user data reporting

[Davide Libenzi]

Michael Kerrisk found out that signalfd was not reporting back user data 
pushed using sigqueue:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/msg/9397cab8551e3123

The following patch makes signalfd to report back the ssi_ptr and ssi_int 
members of the signalfd_siginfo structure.
