[PATCH 05/22] signal: Clear si_sys_private before copying siginfo to userspace

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Jan 15 2018 - 19:43:25 EST


In preparation for unconditionally copying the whole of siginfo
to userspace clear si_sys_private. So this kernel internal
value is guaranteed not to make it to userspace.
