Sure, keeping that separate seem best.

Looking at what copy_siginfo_from_user_any() actually does, I don't
even think it's worth adapting copy_siginfo_to_user_any() for io_uring,
since it's already just a trivial wrapper, and adding another
argument would add more complexity overall than it saves.
