[PATCH 09/16] ptrace: In ptrace_setsiginfo deal with invalid si_signo

[Eric W. Biederman]

If the tracer calls PTRACE_SETSIGINFO it only has an effect if the
tracee is stopped in ptrace_signal.

When one of PTRACE_DETACH, PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK,
PTRACE_SYSEMU, PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, PTRACE_SYSCALL, or
PTRACE_CONT pass in a signel number to continue with the kernel
validates that signal number and the ptrace_signal verifies the signal
number matches the si_signo, before the siginfo is used.

As the signal number to continue with is verified to be a valid signal
number the signal number in si_signo must be a valid signal number.

Make this obvious and avoid needing checks later by immediately
clearing siginfo if si_signo is not valid.
