signal: Guard against negative signal numbers in copy_siginfo_from_user
The bounds checks in known_siginfo_layout only guards against positive
numbers that are too large, large negative can slip through and
can cause out of bounds accesses.
Ordinarily this is not a concern because early in signal processing
the signal number is filtered with valid_signal which ensures it
is a small positive signal number, but copy_siginfo_from_user
is called before this check is performed.

Therefore fix known_siginfo_layout to take an unsigned signal number
instead of a signed signal number. All valid signal numbers are small
positive numbers so they will not be affected, but invalid negative
signal numbers will now become large positive signal numbers and will
not be used as indices into the sig_sicodes array.
Making the signal number unsigned makes it difficult for similar mistakes to
happen in the future.
