[REVIEW][PATCH 1/2] signal/arc: Push siginfo generation into unhandled_exception

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 11:01:14 EST


Pass signr, sicode, and address into unhandled_exception as explicit
parameters instead of members of struct siginfo. Then in unhandled
exception generate and send the siginfo using force_sig_fault.

This keeps the code simpler and less error prone.
