[REVIEW][PATCH 1/5] signal/signalfd: Remove __put_user from signalfd_copyinfo

[Eric W. Biederman]

Put a signalfd_siginfo structure on the stack fully initializae
it and then copy it to userspace.

The code is a little less wordy, and this avoids a long series
of the somewhat costly __put_user calls.
