We could add a copy_siginfo_to_user_any(), but I think open-coding
it is easier here, since the in_compat_syscall() check does not
work inside of the io_uring kernel thread, it has to be
"if (req->ctx->compat)" in order to match the wordsize of the task
that started the request.

Using copy_siginfo_to_user32() and copy_siginfo_to_user() is
probably a good idea though, it's often faster and less
error-prone than writing each member separately.
