signal: Reduce copy_siginfo to just a memcpy
The savings for copying just part of struct siginfo appears to be in the
noise on modern machines. So remove this ``optimization'' and simplify the code.
At the same time mark the second parameter as constant so there is no confusion
as to which direction the copy will go.
This ensures that a fully initialized siginfo that is sent ends up as
a fully initialized siginfo on the signal queue. This full initialization
ensures even confused code won't copy unitialized data to userspace, and
it prepares for turning copy_siginfo_to_user into a simple copy_to_user.
