[patch 44/59] uml: fix signal frame alignment

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Use the same signal frame alignment calculations as the underlying
architecture. x86_64 appeared to do this, but the "- 8" was really
subtracting 8 * sizeof(struct rt_sigframe) rather than 8 bytes.

UML/i386 might have been OK, but I changed the calculation to match
i386 just to be sure.
