MIPS has 128 signals, the highest of which has the number 128 (they
start from 1). The following command causes get_signal_to_deliver() to
pass this signal number straight through to do_group_exit() as the exit
code:

  strace sleep 10 & sleep 1 && kill -128 `pidof sleep`

However do_group_exit() checks for the core dump bit (0x80) in the exit
code which matches in this particular case and the kernel panics:

  BUG_ON(exit_code & 0x80); /* core dumps don't get here */

As a quick fix, mask out higher bits in the signal number. This
effectively matches the exit code from other code paths but avoids the
BUG_ON.
