Subject: exec: don't force_sigsegv processes with a pending fatal signal
We were seeing unexplained segfaults in coreutils processes and other
basic utilities on systems with print-fatal-signals enabled:

We tracked these crashes down to binfmt_elf failing to load segments for
ld.so inside the kernel. Digging further, the actual problem seems to
occur when a process gets sigkilled while it is still being loaded by the
kernel. In our case when _do_page_fault goes for a retry it will return
early as it first checks for fatal_signal_pending(), so load_elf_interp
also returns with error and as a result search_binary_handler will
force_sigsegv() which is pretty confusing as nothing actually failed here.
Add a message when load_binary fails, add a check for fatal signals in
signal_delivered (avoiding a single check in force_sigsegv as other
architectures use it directly and may have different expectations).
Thanks to Dmitry Safonov and Oleg Nesterov for their comments and
suggestions.
