[PATCH v2 1/3] signal: Add FPE_FLTUNK si_code for undiagnosable fp exceptions

[Dave Martin]

Some architectures cannot always report accurately what kind of
floating-point exception triggered a floating-point exception trap.

This can occur with fp exceptions occurring on lanes in a vector
instruction on arm64 for example.

Rather than have every architecture come up with its own way of
describing such a condition, this patch adds a common FPE_FLTUNK
si_code value to report that an fp exception caused a trap but we
cannot be certain which kind of fp exception it was.

Changes since v1:

Reported by James Morse:

 * Bump NSIGFPE BUILD_BUG_ON() check for x86 compat.

   FPE_FLTUNK does not current have any implications for x86, since it
   is not currently used and has no implications for the way siginfo
   is populated.
