From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: binfmt_elf: femove the set_fs in fill_siginfo_note

The code in binfmt_elf.c is different from the rest of the code that
processes siginfo, as it sends siginfo from a kernel buffer to a file
rather than from kernel memory to userspace buffers.  To remove its use of
set_fs the code needs some different siginfo helpers.

Add the helper copy_siginfo_to_external to copy from the kernel's internal
siginfo layout to a buffer in the siginfo layout that userspace expects.

Modify fill_siginfo_note to use copy_siginfo_to_external instead of set_fs
and copy_siginfo_to_user.

Update compat_binfmt_elf.c to use the previously added
copy_siginfo_to_external32 to handle the compat case.
