Changes applied to `do_cpu' over time reduced the use of the SIGILL issued with `force_sig' at the end to a single CU3 case only in the switch statement there. Move that `force_sig' call over to right where required then and toss out the pile of gotos now not needed to skip over the call, replacing them with regular breaks out of the switch.
