I think these are safe. Before getting to copy_siginfo_to_user(), all
`info` run through:
do_sigtimedwait()
V
dequeue_signal()
V
__dequeue_signal()
V
collect_signal()
Where it either gets memcpy()'d by copy_siginfo(), or memset()'d by
clear_siginfo().
The only exception is when next_signal() fails in __dequeue_signal(),
but that will cause do_sigtimedwait() to return an error, and we never
reach copy_siginfo_to_user() in such a case.
Thank you,
Peilin Ye
