signalfd: fix information leak in signalfd_copyinfo
commit 3ead7c52bdb0ab44f4bb1feed505a8323cc12ba7 upstream.
This function may copy the si_addr_lsb field to user mode when it hasn'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.
