#1218953 — [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 129/130] signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_to_user

3.16.7-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amanieu d'Antras <amanieu@gmail.com>

commit 26135022f85105ad725cda103fa069e29e83bd16 upstream.

This function may copy the si_addr_lsb, si_lower and si_upper fields to
user mode when they haven't been initialized, which can leak kernel
stack data to user mode.

Just checking the value of si_code is insufficient because the same
si_code value is shared between multiple signals.  This is solved by
checking the value of si_signo in addition to si_code.
