binfmt_elf: remove the set_fs in fill_siginfo_note
The code in binfmt_elf.c is differnt 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 it's 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. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
