[merged mm-nonmm-stable] get_signal-hide_si_addr_tag_bits-fix-the-usage-of-uninitialized-ksig.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: get_signal: hide_si_addr_tag_bits: fix the usage of uninitialized ksig
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     get_signal-hide_si_addr_tag_bits-fix-the-usage-of-uninitialized-ksig.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: get_signal: hide_si_addr_tag_bits: fix the usage of uninitialized ksig

ksig->ka and ksig->info are not initialized if get_signal() returns 0 or
if the caller is PF_USER_WORKER.

Check signr != 0 before SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS and move the "out" label down.

The latter means that ksig->sig won't be initialized if a PF_USER_WORKER
thread gets a fatal signal but this is fine, PF_USER_WORKER's don't use
ksig. And there is nothing new, in this case ksig->ka and ksig-info are
not initialized anyway. Add a comment.
