Subject: signal/testing: Don't look for __SI_FAULT in userspace
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d12fe87e62d773e81e0cb3a123c5a480a10d7d91 upstream.
Fix the debug print statements in these tests where they reference
si_codes and in particular __SI_FAULT. __SI_FAULT is a kernel
internal value and should never be seen by userspace.
While I am in there also fix si_code_str. si_codes are an enumeration
there are not a bitmap so == and not & is the apropriate operation to
test for an si_code.
