copy_siginfo_to_user correctly strips off the high bits of si->si_code
before copying it to userspace.
Unfortunately, ptrace32_siginfo calls copy_siginfo_to_user to put the
siginfo into a temporary userspace buffer and counts on the high bits
still being present so that it may initialize the union in the final
32-bit siginfo.
This patch works around this problem by having copy_siginfo_to_user
copy si->si_code intact to userspace. This introduces a bug in native
64-bit PTRACE_GETSIGINFO, but I haven't noticed anything being
bothered by it.
