Ack, I think keeping this BUG_ON() makes sense here, since
force_signal_inject() just warns and returns if !user_mode(regs).

Maybe the comment could be clarified though to explain what is meant by
"crash": maybe something like:

	Unexpected FPAC exception or pointer authentication failure in
	the kernel: kill the task before it does any more harm.
