[REVIEW][PATCH 09/20] signal/x86/traps: Use force_sig_bnderr

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 20:07:56 EST


Instead of generating the siginfo in x86 specific code use the new
helper function force_sig_bnderr to separate the concerns of
collecting the information and generating a proper siginfo.

Making the code easier to understand and maintain.
