[PATCH 1/4] signalfd: add ability to return siginfo in a raw format

[Andrey Vagin]

signalfd should be called with the flag SFD_RAW for that.

signalfd_siginfo is not full for siginfo with a negative si_code.
copy_siginfo_to_user() is copied a full siginfo to user-space, if
si_code is negative.  signalfd_copyinfo() doesn't do that and can't be
expanded, because it has not compatiable format with siginfo_t.

Another problem is that a constant __SI_* is removed from si_code.
It's not a problem for ussual applications, because they expect
a defined type of siginfo (internal logic).
When we want to dump pending signals, we can't predict a type of
siginfo, so we should get it from kernel.

This fuctionality is required for checkpointing pending signals.
