From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 695dd0d634df8903e5ead8aa08d326f63b23368a upstream. Directly calling do_exit with a signal number has the problem that all of the side effects of the signal don't happen, such as killing all of the threads of a process instead of just the calling thread. So replace do_exit(SIGSYS) with force_fatal_sig(SIGSYS) which causes the signal handling to take it's normal path and work as expected.
