signal/mips: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault. Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.

The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.

In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.

Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

MIPS: Remove confusing else statement in __do_page_fault()

Commit 41c594ab65fc ("[MIPS] MT: Improved multithreading support.")
added an else case to an if statement in do_page_fault() (which has
since gained 2 leading underscores) for some unclear reason. If the
condition in the if statement evaluates true then we execute a goto &
branch elsewhere anyway, so the else has no effect. Combined with an #if
0 block with misleading indentation introduced in the same commit it
makes the code less clear than it could be.

Remove the unnecessary else statement & de-indent the printk within
the #if 0 block in order to make the code easier for humans to parse.
