[REVIEW][PATCH 22/26] signal: Properly set TRACE_SIGNAL_LOSE_INFO in __send_signal

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed May 22 2019 - 20:46:01 EST


Any time siginfo is not stored in the signal queue information is
lost. Therefore set TRACE_SIGNAL_LOSE_INFO every time the code does
not allocate a signal queue entry, and a queue overflow abort is not
triggered.
