[PATCH v4 3/5] signal: Add unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user()

In the same spirit as commit fb05121fd6a2 ("signal: Add
unsafe_get_compat_sigset()"), implement an 'unsafe' version of
copy_siginfo_to_user() in order to use it within user access blocks.

For that, also add an 'unsafe' version of clear_user().

This commit adds the generic fallback for unsafe_clear_user().
Architectures wanting to use unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user() within a
user_access_begin() section have to make sure they have their
own unsafe_clear_user().
