[PATCH] binfmt_elf force_sig arguments fix

[Horms <horms@verge.net.au>]

Hi,

There appears to be a small error in the change that was recently
applied to fs/binfmt_elf.c to fix error codes and eraly corrupt
binary detection.

The patch includes changing a send_sig() call to a force_sig() call in
load_elf_binary(). However force_sig() only accepts 2 arguments, and
thus the patch causes the build to fail.

I propose the following patch to simply remove the extra argument to
force_sig(), which I beleive will give a sensible result.  That or
change the call back to send_sig(), though I assume it was changed to
force_sig() for a reason.
