x86: don't send SIGBUS for kernel page faults
commit 96054569190bdec375fe824e48ca1f4e3b53dd36 upstream. It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS. When we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the fixups, not some user-level signal handler. Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.
