Use unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user() in order to do the copy
within the user access block.

On an mpc 8321 (book3s/32) the improvment is about 5% on a process
sending a signal to itself.

Nacked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebied...@xmission.com>

copy_siginfo_to_user is not the same as copy_siginfo_to_user32.

As in this patch breaks 32bit userspace on powerpc.

I don't understand your comment. As you can see below, copy_siginfo_to_user32() is used in the 
compat case (ie 32 bit userspace on PPC64) and unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user() is used on the 
non-compat case (ie 32 bit userspace on PPC32).

So what's the issue really ?
